Two revolutionary organisations of Punjab, Lok Morcha Punjab and Inqlabi
Kendar Punjab, organised a confrence on 16 May at Shakti Kala Mandir
Barnala at the culmination of the campaign“ Build the Revolutionary
Alternative”. The organisations called upon the people that instead of
looking towards the ruling parties to solve their basic problems, they
should organise themselves and struggle to establish a pro-people
socio-political and economic system. Exposing the political extravaganza
of electoral process the state leaders of both organisations Kanwaljit
Khanna, Jagmail Singh, Mukhtiar Singh Poohla and Sheerin said that like
several previous elections the present election is neither concerned
with the basic issues of the people nor it aims to bring any qualitative
change in the lives of people. In reality, the elections are a tool to
divert the attention of people from their basic issues and to resolve
the contention between different sections of capitalists, Feudal Lords
and Landlords, to decide the next ruler of the country and to provide
justification and authenticity to this rule by using people as mere
stamps. These elections aim to get a stamp of approval for the policies
of ruling classes which actually serve the interests of capitalists,
Feudal Lords and big Landlords. To achieve this target, all the
parliamentary parties tend to ignore the real issues of toiling masses.
In present elections these parties are trying to divert the attention of
people towards the futile issues of nationalism and internal security
on one hand and towards petty economic benefits or the danger to the
democracy on the other. The bogus claims of development by the parties,
in reality, are aimed to open the doors of economy for the imperialists
and big capitalists to gain huge profits. All the political parties
claim that the panacea for all the ills of contemporary India, are the
policies of Globalisation, Liberalisation and Privatisation, however,
these very policies are responsible for all the problems of common
people.
The leaders said that, to bring a basic qualitative change and prosperity in the lives of toiling people, there is a dire need to completely change the present anti-people regime. This change can’t be brought out by the electoral process, but, only by constructing people’s power through their popular struggles in the light of the revolutionary path shown by Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Only the conscious and organised force of masses has the capacity to establish the real democracy and is capable of guarding it. Today, there is a strong need, to end the plunder of the country by the imperialists and capitalists, to implement the land reforms and redistribution of land, to end the usury, to come out of all the unequal treaties with the imperial countries, to fill up the treasury by imposing direct taxes on big corporates and companies and to put a bar on their huge profits. These steps can be implemented only by the strength of the organised people. The people have their own organisations which are the alternative to the organisational structures of ruling classes and these organisations have the capacity to bring the basic change in the society if they are provided with the correct revolutionary guidance. Both the organisations held this campaign to perform this task of providing the revolutionary alternative to the people.
The speakers said that the clamour of second or third alternative by the parliamentary parties at present is fictitious and they all serve the interests of the ruling classes. They termed the elections, an attack on the class-unity of masses, and called on to the masses that they should protect their unity from this attack. People should raise their actual demands in the elections and compel the political parties to speak on such issues. They said it is the need of the hour to uphold the path of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his comrades. A demonstration was also held in the Barnala city at the culmination of the campaign and the conference. Comrade Narain Dutt conducted the stage efficiently.
