The INDIA Alliance meeting held at the Constitution Club in New Delhi on June 8 unanimously agreed on a five-point plan to intensify coordination on key democratic, educational and economic issues facing the country.
CPI(ML) Liberation General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya and Polit Bureau member Ravi Rai participated in the meeting, which was attended by around 23 constituent parties of the alliance, including the Congress, CPI, CPI(M), RJD, VCK, AIFB, RSP and others.
The meeting decided that a letter will be sent to the Chief Justice of India on the issue of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and the electoral disenfranchisement.
The INDIA parties also demanded the immediate resignation of the Union Education Minister over recurring examination paper leaks. The meeting said that repeated paper leaks have exposed the deep crisis in the education and examination system and have caused immense distress to students and youth across the country.
The alliance further demanded that the Union Government immediately convene an all-party meeting to discuss the worsening economic situation. The meeting underlined the need for urgent discussion on price rise, unemployment, the agrarian crisis and other issues affecting the lives and livelihoods of the people.
It was also decided that INDIA Alliance parties will meet once every two months to ensure regular political coordination. The next meeting will be held in Hyderabad in August, with the exact date to be finalised soon.
The meeting also resolved that during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, alliance parties will hold daily coordination meetings at the office of the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament.
