KOLKATA: 1ST September, 1939 was the day
when fascist Germany led by Adolph Hitler invaded Poland to
start the world's deadliest war till date against humanity. Since then the
destruction of life and property continued for five long years - throwing the
entire world into war and anarchy. To remind ourselves of the futility and
destruction of war, people of the world have been observing 1st September as
the World Peace and Anti War Day. West Bengal has a long tradition of
observing the World Peace Day. This year is going to be no exception. The Left
Front Committee of West Bengal has convened a rally in Kolkata and Siliguri to
observe this day.
The non-aligned foreign policy of our
country has seemed to be derailed. India has voted for US proposal
of strengthening sanctions on Syria in Security Council when even Pakistan dared
to abstain. Before that India supported US-British proposal against Iran in
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). India-US military
understanding has also been in progress. Despite protests from different
corners of the country, the government went ahead with Defense deal, joint army
exercises, assistance in military operations etc. India has also
endorsed CTBT and civil nuclear treaty. Imperialism now has a direct impact on
the life of every Indian citizen and the UPA government in pushing the country
to be a junior partner and collaborator of US imperialism. The recent
WikiLeaks exposes have also thrown light on how the Indian government has bent
to the whims of US imperialism. The pipeline issue with Tehran went
under wraps after indirect intervention from US.
The military aspirations of imperialism
have been on violent display during recent period. Unresisted, the imperialism
would bring the humanity to the verge of destruction once again. There is
therefore urgent need to bolster up the flag of humanity and raise our voice in
favor of peace and against war. The World Peace and Anti War Day, therefore, is
still relevant, stressed the Left Front leaders.
The Left Front’s demands on World Peace
and Anti War Day:
● No war but restoration of peace.
