If UP turns into Kerala as
@myogiadityanath
fears, it will enjoy the best education, health services, social welfare, living standards and have a harmonious society in which people won't be murdered in the name of religion and caste. That's what the people of UP would want.
Today, I have filled a petition in Supreme Court under Article 32 of Constitution of India for seeking early hearings of our previously filled writ petitions regarding Article 370 and J&K (Reorganisation) Act, 2019.
Dropping import duty on Washington apples from 35% to 15% is PM Modi's G20 gift to Joe Biden. In the US, corporations are engaged in apple farming with the state giving them heavy subsidies on fertilisers & pesticides. Our marginal growers,in contrast, are groaning under debts1/2
I reiterate that it started from Kashmir and it will not end in Lakshadweep. Considering your culture superior and imposing it forcibly on others is regressive and insidious for democracy.

Last year today comrade
@SitaramYechury
was allowed to visit me by SC after moving habeas corpus petition. Left's support and solidarity for J&K in such tough times will be remembered in history.
Deeply pained to hear about the passing of my long-standing comrade, Com. Sita Ram Yechury. His sudden demise is a great loss to left and democratic movement. Com. Yachury was the hope of hopeless and a beacon of resilience in most challenging times. 1/3
Congratulations to Comrade M Afzal of our party CPIM for being elected as DDC chairman of district Kulgam and Shazia Jan of NC as vice chairman.
We thank and appreciate the cooperation of all the elected DDC members of Kulgam for consensus and unanimity.
With great sadness and numbness, I have to inform you that we lost the veteran CPIM leader, Ab Hamid Wani after a brief illness. He was one of the pioneers and architects of Kissan Movement in J&K. His departure is a colossal loss.
You will be deeply missed Comrade.
Red salute
Deeply grieved at the loss of our comrade and veteran trade union leader, Sham Prasad Kessar. His contribution for championing the cause of working class is immense and unparalleled.
Red salute.
In Kashmir, New Year began on another disappointing note where Police resumed their work of scuttling the legitimate voices & squeezing democratic space by cracking down on protest against Delimitation Comission
Entire PAGD leadership including me have been put under house arrest
Capitalism see opportunities in every war to maximize the profit.
It is shameful that airlines have started to charge the passengers in lakhs for tickets from Ukraine to India.
It tantamount to extortion.
Regret the arrest of Parvez Khuram under UAPA, which is being repeatedly misused across the country . It's rampant use without transparency and accountability will only alienate the people further.
Locks on gates, lock downs as celebrations and lies as defences has been the hallmark of last year. Today, political leaders were supposed to meet at Dr Farooq Abdullah's residence to discuss the political challenges region is facing. But unfortunately, we were not allowed.
Home Minister's assertions are at odds with the reality. The tribal population of J & K was granted ST status in 1991 when Article 370 and 35 A were intact. These provisions never stymied the progress of any community.
Today, I called on Lt Governor
@manojsinha_
at Raj Bhawan in Jammu and raised the issue of recent Hokersar encounter with him. I briefed him about the version of the families of the slain trio & urged him to order an impartial & time-bound probe so that reality comes to the fore.
We demand judicial probe into the civilian killings of Hyderpora and urge the administration to immediately handover their bodies to respective families for last rites.
Any credible probe into the recruitment process of

is welcome, but scrapping the entire process will be tantamount to collective punishment. It will put paid to the dreams of hundreds of selectees.
The Post facto environmental approval system is highly objectionable. It defeats the very purpose of approval system, facilitates corporate loot and undermines the fight against climate change.

The claims of jobs by the Govt. have failed the test of reality & the situation of aspirants of JKPSI & JE stand witness to this.They have been waiting for their results for the past 10 months.
@OfficeOfLGJandK
must ensure the release of said results.

One more arrest of Kashmiri journalists on a frivolous basis reminds me of the quote of Rakesh Tikat who said well that ...

Extending our greetings, we thank people of Kerala for resposing the trust and confidence in LDF under the leadership of Comrade
@vijayanpinarayi
Kerala has showed the way both in terms of inclusive developmental model and resisting communal forces.
Revolutionary greetings to Left candidates
@cpimlliberation
@cpimspeak
and CPI for their valiant fight in Bihar assembly polls and registering victories.
Congratulations to other candidates of MGB who couldn't make this time but gave a tough fight.
Nagaland brutal civilian killings have brought focus back on AFSPA, a law having colonial genesis.
We in Kashmir have vast experience & data of its misuse & impeding of justice delivery. We stand in solidarity with Naga people and demand repeal of AFSPA from everywhere..1/2
The use of force against the JKSSB aspirants is highly deplorable. Giving contract for conducting exams to a company accused of being involved in venal practices sans reason.Amid ballooning youth employement, the move will put the future of thousands of job aspirants on the line.
While seconding the resolution adopted in CPIM district conference Kulgam on human rights violation in J&K.
We will continue to fight in these dark times against every injustice inflicted upon innocent civilians by administration and Govt.
Huge reserve intellectual army of unemployed youth in J&K is worrisome and alarming.
Plight of dental surgeons, unrest among PhD scholars and crisis among other qualified and skilled youth demand a shift from obsolete and redundant recruitment policies.
Today's successful Jammu Bandh against opening of Reliance stores is loud and clear message that people of J&K are determined to fight back against corporate loot on the name of "development".
Participating in democratic process may be a job of ‘gangs’ for BJP but for us it is a sacred. The consensus & unity of political parties in J&K has unnerved the BJP. We will fight for the restoration of constitutional rights irrespective of what authoritarian regime calls us
The Gupkar Gang is going global! They want foreign forces to intervene in Jammu and Kashmir. The Gupkar Gang also insults India’s Tricolour. Do Sonia Ji and Rahul Ji support such moves of the Gupkar Gang ? They should make their stand crystal clear to the people of India.
Lockdowns are not new for people in Kashmir, but the pandemic coupled with government's apathy has made things worse.
Today I will be live from
@sficec
at 7.00 pm to talk about the problems of Kashmiri Youth and Students.
We had come to Delhi with some expectations but would be returning empty-handed.
We didn't come to the meeting called by the PM to seek elections. We came with an aim of restoring our constitutional rights which were taken away.
Finally it has dawned on the people of Ladakh that they were better off in J & K. The decision taken on August 5, 2019 was not only an assault on the distinct identity of all the three regions, but also a move to disempower the people.1/2
Jails are full in J&K due to indiscriminate & arbitrary use of PSA & UAPA.
Running out of Jail spaces reflect enormity and gravity of situation.
Artificially engineered peace is unsustainable.
Release political prisoners.
Stop silencing of disent by imposing such draconian laws
Administration must release Waheed Para, whose health is deteriorating. So, as he can get access to medical care.
Of note, charges against him have not been proved by investigative agencies in the court of law.
Falgged off the Education March from Srinagar. Any assault on education and our constitutional rights is unpalatable to us. We reiterate our steely resolve to struggle for dignified life and better future for our people.
The BJP government must realise the dangers of witch-hunting and intimidation and desist from vindictive designs. It is time for secular democratic forces across the country to raise their voice against such designs of the BJP government.
Extension of PSA to
@MehboobaMufti
and denail to release other political leaders and activists languishing in jails of state and outside is unfortunate and authoritative.
The government must stop running bulldozers over the shelters of poor people. Tearing down homes and dispossessing people of the land they have been farming for decades constitutes a flagrant assault on their legitimate rights and livelihood.

Shocked to know that Aijaz Ahmad, a renowned and towering Marxist thinker, has left us.
An irreparable loss, no doubt, for all of us.

Modi Govt should marshal all public sector drug production facilities towards vaccine production.
Free & mass universal vaccination programme is a must for maintaining public health.

Can someone explain why the price of the same vaccine is different for central govt & state govt?
Modi has prioritized the 'super profits' of Big Pharma, not the public health.

Condemning the thrashing of Kashmiri scholars at AMU. There are allegations that some non-Kashmiri students often brandish country-made arms to harass the Kashmiri students. Calling on the AMU administration to look into the matter and ensure the safety of all Kashmiri students.
The use of force against the Rehbar-e-Khel teachers is rather deplorable. These employees are working on paltry salaries over the last many years. Instead of forcing them to hit the streets, the government must accede to their genuine demands.
CPIM expresses its sorrow at the passing of Father Stan Swamy. This is a custodial killing!
Arrested under UAPA even while afflicted with various ailments, repeatedly refused bail by NIA & finally shifted to hospital due to a court intervention. But it was too little too late.
This is a design to disempower the people of J&K further and put their land on sale for corporations. It is daylight robbery of land in the name of integration, development and security.
Police warning of a penal action is like diktat and crossing all the limits of brazen bizarre display of authoritative tendency.
Political leaders have ever right to ask questions. Threatening right to question is breach of law and duty police is supposed to uphold.
The stellar performance of NC- INC in LAHDC-Kargil polls has exposed in no uncertain terms the BJP's false narrative of development following the abrogation of article 370 and split of J&K. 1/2
The administration must address the legitimate concerns of waiting list candidates seeking government jobs to ensure that vacancies resulting from mass resignations are filled by those next in merit. 1/2
While practicing yoga anywhere is a matter of personal choice but making the exercise mandatory on grounds of some unproven medical benefits is an insult to the Constitution.
Such impositions are perceived as proselytism, administration is indulging in.
Strongly condemn the brutal killing of Makhan Lal Bindroo, owner of Bindroo pharmacy in Srinagar.
Late Bindroo stayed here in trying and difficult times and continued his service to the locals despite odds.
No words to condemn such a heinous and shameful act.
Number of political prisoners detained on flimsy grounds under draconian laws in and outside J&K jails are ill.
Families find it extremely difficult to meet them due to poverty and covid travel restrictions.
Administration continues to be insensitive.
This latest order is the beginning of a wider plan to give voting rights to non-locals to reduce the weightage of locals & change electoral demographics. All parties and civil society groups must reject this arbitrary inclusion of non- locals. BJP's designs must be defeated.
Modi Govt rather than enforcing strict monitoring & implementation of environmental laws and tightening regulations, has instead choose to appease corporate interests in the name of encouraging "ease of doing business".
#RejectEIA2020
We appreciate the joint statement of opposition parties where they have urged the govt to release all political prisoners in J&K and restore full statehood including J&K cadre of central services.
Secularism and Democracy are not distinct & separated features, they are intrinsically integral.
Without democratic rights & civil liberties, secularism cannot be sustained. We need to preserve them, not the Godse's 'politics of hate.'
#IndiaAgainstCommunalism
Attack on media is deliberately done to cover up the war crimes in Palestine and impede the press from reporting the destruction Israeli forces have caused.
Barbaric serial killings of minority community members in Kashmir is a litmus test for our society.
We must not only ensure the security of our minorities but reassure our commitment for an inclusive Kashmir. 1/2
The proposed J& K Reorganisation Amendment ( 2023 ) Bill, allowing reservation of seats for Kashmiri Pandits and migrants from PoK is being introduced in the Parliament at a time when the Supreme court has begun hearing a clutch of petitions filed by the CPI(M) and other
Deeply pained to hear about the killing of ASI Mushtaq Ahmad in a militant attack in Lal Bazar, Srinagar. My heart goes out to the family of slain official. I wish speedy recovery to injured cops.
Visited Makhan Lal Bindroo's family in solidarity and sharing their grief.
It is an addition of one more scar to the wounded body of Kashmir.
We as a society must stand up and speak against these inhumane killings of unarmed people.
JDA again Started selective eviction drive against Gujjar Bakerwals demolished several houses at upper Palora, near Roop Nagar, Jammu.
This Vikas of Gujjar Bakerwals is being done in J&K, see people have been made homeless where they will go.
Fake slogans of Dev of GBs r visible
Creating unique IDs for every family in Jammu & Kshmir is not only an infringement of right to privacy but an attempt to turn the region into a digital panopticon.
My heart goes out to these families of labourers who toil to earn their wages and contribute immensely to our economic activities.
These killings are a systematic attack on Kashmir, Kashmiri interests and Kashmiri ethos.
We must speak up before these flames will engulf us all
Terrorists fired indiscriminately upon non-local labourers at Wanpoh area of Kulgam. In this terror incident, 2 non-locals were killed and 1 injured. Police & Security Forces cordoned off the area. Details awaited: J&K Police
We salute the resolve of farmers and venerate their spirit for standing up to save the corporatization of agriculture.
Today's farmer movement is basically ensuring a food security for tomorrow.
#Blackdayagainstgovt
Promise of "Vikas" after abrogation of Article 370 is falling flat as J&K recorded highest unemployment rate in country.
What is more shocking is that instead of creating employment opportunities, J&K administration issued a devastating order of disengaging 918 Aganwari helpers.
Journalists risking their lives while reporting from ground zero during this pandemic must be declared as frontline workers and vaccinated in advance.
Press is key element in fighting infodemics in pandemic.
The services of another Kashmiri employee have been terminated without providing him with an opportunity to be heard. Instead of creating new employment opportunities, the government appears to be more interested in snatching the livelihoods of people.
#CPIM
Strongly condemns the killing of CRPF Jawans in the suicide blast today.We express condolences with the bereaved families.This dastardly act has no place in a civilized society.We pray for the speedy recovery of the injured personnel.
Glad to hear that
@MehboobaMufti
has finally been released from the unlawful detention. We urge the authorities to release other people who continue to be under detention since 04 Aug 2019 under draconian laws like PSA, UAPA and sedition.
As serious allegations were levelled by the family of slain youth, Muslim Muneer Lone of Budshah Colony Natipora Srinagar against the police, a credible and time bound enquiry must be conducted into the incident to bring out the truth.
The summoning of widow of former Union Home Minister, late Mufti Mohammad Syed, by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is highly humiliating and there are not enough words to condemn such coercive acts.
Revolutionary greetings to our comrades of JKNSF, who are relentlessly fighting for rights of students and youth and striving for universal goal of making progressive, prosperous and egalitarian society.
Revolutionary greetings!
We want to give a big shout-out to organizing committee, Red volunteers, Kannur district committee and to thousands of Keralites for being wonderful hosts.

Contractual lecturers working in different colleges across J&K find themselves in a financial bind due to significantly lower salaries compared to Ladakh and other states. While Ladakh recently enhanced salaries from ₹40,000 to ₹57,000, J&K pays ₹28,000 for PhD/NET holders 1/2
