Hyderabad, Jan 05: Nine Left parties, including CPI
and CPM, today called for a united struggle against
globalisation and communalism through a broad political
coalition.
Speaking at a "political convention against
globalisation" here, leaders of the Left parties unanimously
voiced the need for a united struggle against globalisation
and communalism which they said were affecting socio-economic
conditions of common man.
CPM politburo member Sitaram Yechuri said the domestic political order has to make a turn-around and a sustained struggle should be organised by Left and secular forces against globalistion and "communalism which is equally damaging".
Equating communalism with IMF, World Bank and WTO, he said they should be fought tooth and nail, if possible through a broad political coalition.
Alleging that the Centre had surrendered to World Bank and the imperialist effort of globalisation which aims at converting the third world into a colony, Yechuri said the nation was paying about Rs 1.5 lakh crore towards interest on loans, which could have otherwise been used for the welfare of social sector.
Naxalbari movement leader Kanu Sanyal (CPI-ML) said "the nexus between globalisation and communalism has been playing havoc with the lives of peasants, workers and weaker sections". Bureau Report
