25th CPI State-level conference in Kalaburagi from August 30
The three-day conference will chalk out action plans to intensify agitation in the next three years to protect the interests of workers, small traders and employees, as government policies are aimed at appeasing the corporate sector.
He said that the BJP-led government at the Centre has put the interest of small traders at stake by bowing before the corporate sector and handing over the country's wealth to industrialists which is widening the gap between the rich and the poor sections.
He said that the conference will highlight and make people aware of the socio-economic problems created by the BJP-led government at the Centre and its anti-traders, anti-farmers, anti-workers policies.
In the last few years, public assets are steadily being handed over to private hands, even as the privatization of Public Sector Undertakings is depriving lakhs of youths of permanent government jobs while also undermining reservation benefits for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs, Mr. Sundaresh added.
Organising committee
An organising Committee consisting of more than 200 people, including social activists, scholars, intellectuals, educationists and concerned citizens, will be formed to oversee the 25th State-level conference.
Activist R.K. Hudagi will be the honorary president of the organising committee and senior journalist and writer Ramzan Dargah will be the president. Karuneshwara Swami, retired judge G.K. Ghokale and the Sajjada Nasheen of the Khwaja Banda Nawaz Dargah will be the honorary members of the committee.

MIM slams NCERT changes, role of RSS
1 2 Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday said that the BJP govt at the Centre should include the book 'Muslims Against Partition' by Shamsul Islam in the NCERT-recommended syllabi. "This lie about partition is repeated time and again. At that time, not even 2–3% of Muslims had the right to vote. Only elitists such as zamindars and jagirdars were enfranchised. Even today, they (RSS and BJP) blame us (Muslims) for the partition of the country. How were we responsible for that? Those who fled, fled. Those who were loyal, stayed," he said. Responding to media queries regarding proposed changes to the NCERT syllabus concerning the partition of the country, he stated that the RSS was never part of India's freedom struggle and did not participate in the Quit India Movement, the Salt Satyagraha, or other agitations. "Why don't they include in the NCERT syllabus that the RSS hated freedom fighters more than the British did? The RSS always sided with the British. Let them teach students all of this as well. No, they only want to spread hatred against Muslims," Owaisi alleged.

He claimed the RSS never participated in the independence movement. "The RSS's Hindutva ideology has always been contrary to the Constitution. It was wrong for the PM to praise an organisation that spreads hatred in the country," he asserted. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Some governors acting like mafia hitmen against citizens: Tushar Gandhi
T'puram: Criticizing the role of governors, Tushar Gandhi , the great grandson of Mahatma Gandhi , said that some governors are like hitmen used by mafias against citizens. "There are two types of governors in the country. One type is sent to BJP-ruled states to enjoy a retired life. The second type is sent to opposition-ruled states with instructions to disrupt governance. These governors act as super vice-chancellors and disrupt higher education, forgetting their duties to protect the Constitution and improve democracy," Gandhi said. Gandhi's remarks came while he was inaugurating a national seminar organized by the Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad here on the challenges faced by universities. "The educated upper class in India is becoming more irrational, falling victim to the false propaganda experiments conducted by communal forces. They have been made to believe that Hindus are in danger and will soon be wiped out. These forces ensure that the majority supports any atrocities they commit, paving the way for the persecution of minorities," he said. The education system, which lacks rational thinking and promotes enslavement, aids this process, Gandhi added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He said that Centre's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 maintains a flawed perspective on education and creates a system that further enslaves students. "Today's education hides realities, eliminates rational thinking, and fosters a slave mentality, becoming a tool to propagate the interests of those in power. People in every region must take responsibility to counter these issues. States should have the right to develop their educational systems, creating an education model that aligns with their culture and region," Gandhi said.

NCERT module row: ‘Congress in pain because truth of Partition coming out,' says BJP
The Congress on Saturday accused the ruling BJP of 'interfering' with the functioning of the institutions and 'distorting' the country's history after a special module, released by the NCERT to mark 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day', held Jinnah, the Congress, and then Viceroy Lord Mountbatten responsible for India's Partition. Calling the Congress the 'Rahul-Jinnah party', BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia took on Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, and alleged that his thinking was similar to that of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. New Delhi, Aug 16 (PTI) The BJP on Saturday slammed the Congress for questioning the NCERT's module on the Partition of India and said the opposition party is in pain because the 'truth' has been brought out. Replying to media queries on the issue, Congress leader Pawan Khera alleged that the partition had taken place due to the Hindu Mahasabha and the Muslim League. He also took on the RSS, calling it the 'biggest villain' in the country's history. Hitting back, Bhatia said the Congress is in pain because the NCERT has brought a 'bitter truth' of India's Partition out for the students to study. 'The Rahul-Jinnah party was the first to feel the pain. And it won't be wrong to say that Jinnah and Rahul have the same thinking. Both have become synonymous with each other,' he told reporters at the BJP headquarters here. 'Jinnah had a poisonous thinking of appeasement and communalism. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress have the same thinking,' he charged. The BJP spokesperson said it is the right of the people to know why the Partition took place and whose failure it was. It happened because the 'ambition of the Congress and its leader' had taken precedence over national interest, he said without naming anyone. 'We all know that 'akhand Bharat' was partitioned on the basis of religion. This black spot in our history was a gift from the Congress,' he said. Bhatia said that while the people of the country and the BJP believe that the country should be run by the Constitution, the Congress thinks it should be run by Sharia law. 'Jinnah also said that there should be Sharia law. The Congress says that the reservation should be given to people on the basis of religion. This is what Jinnah also said,' he added. On the attack on the RSS, Bhatia said, 'Those who always betrayed India are raising questions on such a patriotic organisation whose aim is to preserve the heritage of India and make it stronger.'
