THIS YEAR, when once again the Martyrs Day is observed on July 28 by the Communist Revolutionaries remembering com. Charu Majumdar and the thousands of revolutionaries who have laid down their lives, the international and national situation are marked by many significant developments.

THE CPI(ML) Polit Bureau meeting held on 13-14 June at the state committee office at Hyderabad severely condemned the killing of four dalits and injury to more than 25 people at Laxmipeta in Srikakulam district of AP in an attack by the upper caste forces.

THE DISQUALIFICATION leading to the sacking of the Prime Minister, Gilani in Pakistan, over ruling the right of the parliament, by the Supreme Court shows the extent of the crisis in that country run by the military and bureaucrat bosses under the domination of US imperialism.

THE FOUNDER of dreaded upper caste militia Ranvir Sena, Brahmeshwar Singh was shot dead by gunmen just weeks after his acquittal by the Patna High Court in the 1996 Bathani Tola carnage in which 21 Dalits were killed.

THE CPI (M) is repeating 2004. Then, in the name of saving the country from BJP menace it supported the formation of UPA government and kept it going for five years with its support. The record of this most reactionary of the central governments so far is before all of us.

Economic Notes
TODAY EUROPE is the epicentre of a financial tsunami that is much deeper than the American meltdown of 2008, which marks a further intensification of the imperialist crisis, once again belying all claims of the viability of the capitalist system.
