The discussion on leftwing extremism in Parliament predictably became a platform for the Modi government to vilify the entire communist movement in India. The Home Minister repeated the typical RSS lies against the communist movement calling it inspired by a 'foreign' ideology.
Mark the timing. This ideological vilification of communists from the floor of Parliament is meant to camouflage the most brazen capitulation by the Modi government to the US-Israel axis of aggression and war and most blatant betrayal of India's national interests.
This ideological witch hunt is however no longer limited to the anti-communist agenda of the RSS. With the sinister coinage and usage of terms like 'urban naxal', 'andolanjeevi', 'anti-national' and the like, the government has been targeting every single stream of dissent in a bid to transfer all resources of India to a few corporate hands.
The heirs of Bhagat Singh will never be intimidated by the anti-communist bluster of the RSS and the Modi government. The communist movement will rebuff this agenda by intensifying the battle against fascism and imperialism on every front.
