Appeal From Party

Appeal For Contributions To Build Central Committee Office Building

The CPI(ML) was formed in 1969 following the great Naxalbari uprising when CPI and CPI(M) had abandoned the path of social revolution and degenerated to the camp of ruling class parties. In its early days failing to evaluate the concrete conditions in our country scientifically, it had committed ‘left’ adventurist mistakes, while engaged in charting a revolutionary path forward. Still Naxalbari uprising and CPI(ML) could bring the agrarian movement with land to the tillers slogan and struggle for people’s democracy back to the agenda. In spite of ruthless state repression, it could wage numerous people’s struggles across the country.
Even while a section of the movement persisted in the adventurist path and is resorting to anarchic actions under the CPI(Maoist), struggling against this erroneous trend and continuing to expose the degeneration of CPI-CPI(M) like forces to social democratic path, the CPI(ML) in its All India Special Conference at Bhopal in November 2009 has analysed India as a country under intensifying neo-colonial slavery and has put forward a Path of Social Revolution through the mobilisation of the working class, the peasantry and all other progressive, democratic sections against imperialism, especially US imperialism, and the rule of big capitalist-bureaucratic–big landlord classes serving it.
In this struggle for people’s democracy and socialism, CPI(ML), mobilising all revolutionary classes and sections in democratic mass organisations, is fighting for an alternative development policy. It promises to ensure food–housing–education–healthcare–employment for all and environment protection, people’s culture and a casteless-secular society against neo-liberal policies pursued by the central and state governments leading the vast masses to pauperisation and the country to devastation, irrespective of whichever party or alliance is in power. In this process it has expanded the functioning of the Party to most of the states, is bringing out publications in a number of languages and has organised the working class, peasants, women, youth and student at all India level.
In order to consolidate and expand these activities the Party needs a Central Office building at Delhi, purchasing a small plot for it. It demands a substantial amount. The Central Committee of CPI(ML) appeals to all comrades and friends, to all progressive, democratic sections to generously contribute to this fund.
