CC Call For Campaign

(September 20 to 30, 2002)

ALL party units must launch a countrywide campaign and movement from September 20 to 30 through public meetings, demonstrations, marches and other forms of mass campaigns and mobilisation.

They must highlight six major issues affecting the people and the country:

1) Investigation of corruption cases concerning the BJP-led government and prosecution of all those guilty.

2) Immediate relief measures for the drought-affected areas by the central government.

3) Dismissal of the Narendra Modi government and imposition of president's rule in Gujarat.

4) Protection Jammu & Kashmir state's composite character and opposing the RSS demand for its trifurcation. Holding free and fair elections in the state.

5) Providing adequate security forces to Tripura by the centre to combat terrorist outfits. Unmasking the opportunist alliance of the Congress and the INPT.

6) Opposing the US plans to militarily attack Iraq. The Vajpayee government must come out firmly against the war plans.

Observe September 20 all over the country as Drought Relief Day. Organise demonstrations and dharnas in front of central government offices, FCI godowns, etc, to press for free foodgrains for the rural poor and initiation of the Food For Work programmes.

Observe September 30 all over the country as Tripura Solidarity Day. Demand that the centre must immediately send army and paramilitary forces to counter the terrorist attacks. Expose the Congress party’s opportunist alliance with the terrorist NLFT-backed INPT.

Oppose the US designs against Iraq by holding demonstrations outside US diplomatic missions/information centres. The state committees must decide the suitable dates for such actions.

Distribution of pamphlets and handbills, street corner meetings and public meetings, bicycle processions into the villages and other suitable methods must be adopted for taking the party’s message to the people at large.
