NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPI (M) has called for immediate resignation of the three-month old Chandra Shekhar government saying its continuance would spell danger for India’s unity every day that it lasts
The party’s polit bureau which concluded its two-day sitting here on February 23 has also demanded fresh Lok Sabha (Parliament) elections to tide over the current crisis polit bureau member Har Kishan Singh Surjeet told newsmen here Monday.
Surjeet while releasing the polit bureau resolutions laid emphasis on pursuance of alternate path of mobilising internal resources by taxing the rich enforcing drastic cut in imports conserving fuel and energy resources and eliminating wasteful government expenditure to reduce the fiscal and trade deficits.
He warned that the ongoing negotiations for the second installments of the IMF loan was bound to spell serious dangers for the country’s economic and political sovereignty and it would push back the country inexorably into a debt trap.
The polit bureau had reiterated to oppose all moves to privatize the public sectors and state financial institutions and called upon all trade unions and their mass organisations to repel this attempt.
It called for united struggles by all sections to expand the public distribution system arresting the continuing double digit inflation and defend the right of the working class.
