PaRCha - JNU - AISA material - 2013 ID-33549

.

We consider peace and friendship between India and Pakistan of paramount importance and must remain.

ever vigilant against the constant anti-Pakistan campaign of jingoistic forces in India..

.

27. The Rajapakse government of Sri Lanka decimated the LTTE through an unmitigated genocidal war.

campaign. An internal inquiry report of the UN released in November 2012 estimates that the civilian.

casualties could go up to 70,000 while a World Bank population data finds a hundred thousand Tamils.

missing since the final war against LTTE rebels in 2009. The UN Human Rights Council has adopted a.

resolution urging Sri Lanka to address the issue of war crimes but the `Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation.

Commission' set up by the Sri Lankan government has given a clean chit to the Sri Lankan army saying it.

adopted a `zero civilian casualty' policy and any loss of civilian lives should be treated as `collateral damage'..

The Sri Lankan government's concept of `reconciliation' calls upon Sri Lankan Tamils to accept Sinhala.

supremacist domination even as Sri Lankan Tamils are still counting the dead. Reconciliation in Sri Lanka.

cannot proceed on the basis of subjugation of the Sri Lankan Tamil community, the international community.

must make sure that the ghastly war crimes against Sri Lankan Tamils are probed in full and exemplary.

punishment is awarded to the guilty..

.

28. India's relations with her eastern neighbours, Bangladesh and Myanmar, are of crucial importance..

The `Look East' policy being pursued by the Indian Government over the last two decades has emerged as a.

key aspect of India's foreign policy. While India uses this policy to reach out to the ASEAN countries, secure.

greater economic leverage and contain the insurgencies in the North-East by preventing the rebel groups.

from taking shelter in Bangladesh and Myanmar, there is also an unmistakable convergence with the US.

policy and its strategic goal of containment of China. India's relations with her eastern neighbours must be.

independent of the US policy and priorities and based on ties of equality and mutual cooperation. India must.

positively address the concerns of Bangladesh of which India is almost the exclusive neighbour (with the.

exception of the small border that Bangladesh shares with Myanmar)..

.

29. While initially supporting the movement for restoration of democracy in Myanmar, ever since the.

adoption of the Look East policy, India began to develop close ties with the military rulers there. Following.

the release of pro-democracy movement leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest in 2010 the prospect of.

fair elections has improved in Myanmar. The country however continues to experience considerable ethnic.

violence. Tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims are being forced to flee Myanmar and look for refuge in.

neighbouring Thailand, Bangladesh, India or Malaysia..

.

30. Bangladesh is currently witnessing a powerful mass awakening calling for punishment of the.

culprits of war-crimes committed during the liberation war of Bangladesh four decades ago. Resurrection of.

the spirit of the liberation war in today's environment could potentially not only effectively isolate the.

rightwing and fundamentalist forces but also challenge the neo-liberal economic framework which.

threatens to reduce the whole of Bangladesh to a sweatshop of cheap labour and a laboratory of corporate.

plunder..

31. While supporting the cause of greater regional cooperation among countries of South Asia, we must.

try to forge closer ties among the forces of the South Asian Left and solidarity among people's struggles.

against imperialist intervention and corporate plunder. Recent bilateral exchanges with comrades of Nepal.

and Bangladesh have strengthened our mutual understanding. While defending the immediate and basic.

interests and aspirations of the working people, the Left movement in Pakistan is faced with the challenge of.

waging simultaneous struggles against the machinations of imperialism, the military-dominated.

authoritarian state and terrorism-inspired disruption. We wish the Left and progressive forces in Pakistan.

every success in this difficult battle. The communist movement in India and all over South Asia must make.

its fullest contribution to the process and prospect of the resurgence of the Left in international politics. .

.

First-ever Two-Day Nationwide General Strike.

.

T he strike called by 11 central trade unions including AICCTU against the pro-corporate and anti.

workers' policies was unprecedented throughout the country affecting all vital sectors bringing the life.

to a standstill. The banking system collapsed. The transport sector has responded magnificently in most of the.

States. The strike was observed in oil, telecom, mining- coal & non-coal, defence, power, port & dock, insurance,.
