CPM Speaks Chinese Again

Bravo! CPM is not in favour of cobbling a "cut and paste" third front for elections and wants to establish a long term political alternative to the Congress and BJP. With the communists’ sordid record in Nandigram, stubborn opposition to the Indo-US nuclear deal and a ridiculous proposal to establish a pro-China regional alliance, it is easy to relate their stance to the old adage ‘if wishes were horses the communists would rule’. The comrades have not even bothered to elaborate on ‘anti-people content of economic reforms’ of the Congress. Perhaps they have assumed that the people have no choice but to agree with their ideas of whats good for India. So far, all the communists have uttered is only beneficial to China and Pakistan.

Sitaram Yechury thinks communalism is a big threat to integrity and unity of the country. This guy deserves all the credit for originality of ideas. That apart, it is amusing to see the communists trying to implement Chinese agenda while talking about whats good for India. This may be the right time to remind the likes of pro-China Sitaram Yechury, D Raja, Prakash Karat and AB Burdhan that the people of India are aware of China’s arrogant expansionist designs to encircle Indian waters from Gwadar to Coco islands. That It annexed Tibet in 1950, forcibly took possession of Aksai Chin in 1962, happily took an illegitimate 'gift' of Indian land from Pakistan, claims the entire Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and refuses to issue visas to resident Indians of Arunachal; not to mention the crude summoning of the Indian Ambassador at 2 AM for a routine protest.
Inspite of the long history of Chinese belligerence, the communists in India only see the threat of US imperialism. It is not possible to convince them of the most serious threat posed by the dragon just to the north.
