‘Polarisation of country worrisome’

Jalandhar, March 22

The Revolutionary Marxist Party of India today expressed a deep concern over the present situation in the country and said the country had been polarised on the basis of religion and that nationalism and intolerance was at an all-time high.

Addressing the meeting of state secretaries of the RMPI here today, party representative Gurnam Singh Daud said, “The Narendra Modi-led BJP government in the centre is no different from the previous UPA government, yet this government has been implementing the policies of neo-liberalism, globalisation, and privatisation more aggressively than the UPA government. This is dragging the country into poverty, starvation and inequality,” he added.

Party general secretary Mangat Ram Pasla said the party would organise a state-level seminar on the occasion of Russian Revolutionary Vladimir Lenin’s birth anniversary in April.
