National interests of the Left
by Natesh on Aug 30, 2007 03:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

A serious rift within the party surfaced in 1962. One reason was the Sino-Indian War, where a faction of the Indian communists backed the position of the Indian government,
while other sections of the party claimed that it was a conflict between a socialist and a capitalist state, and thus took a
pro-Chinese position. There were three factions in the party - internationalists, centrists, and nationalists. Internationalists supported the Chinese stand where as the Nationalists backed India. Centrists took a neutral view.
Prominent leaders including S.A. Danke, A. K. Gopalan, and E. M. S. Namboodiripad were in the nationalist faction. B. T. Ranadive, Sundarayya, P. C. Joshi, Basavapunniah, Jyoti Basu, and Harkishan Singh Surjeet are among those supported China. Ajoy Ghosh was the prominent person in the centrist faction.
In general, most of Bangal communist leaders supported China and most others supported India [1]. Hundreds of CPI leaders, accused of being pro-Chinese were imprisoned. Some of the nationalists were also imprisoned, as they used to express their opinion only in party forums, and CPI's official stand was pro-China. HK Surjeet influenced by Russia to setup an underground organization CPI did proceed to recruit a secret organization within the Indian Army. China Russia insisted that the CPI must develop a standby apparatus capable of armed resistance, while intensifying penetration of Indian Military forces.

Mr. Natesh,

Please stop diverting the attention from the real issues. The communist party's act of treason does not warrant the Congress and its crony's act of treason either.

All that is being asked is an open debate in the parliament -- Do you have a problem with that! Please go on to read the following:

Manmohan Singh as the finance minister had conspired to subvert the nuclear programme by shutting of the funding and now he is trying to accomplish that by signing this agreement.

If above is not the reason why does he hesitate in open parliamentary debate with the prominent legal, nuclear research scientists and scientists participating in it so that the nation knows all about what is it that they are getting into.

I hope you would be kind enough to not get into rhetorics and instead reflect on the serious aspects of the treaty.
