The capitalist system is in a deep crisis. The burden of this crisis is being shifted onto the shoulders of the working class. While the wealth of the capitalists gets multiplied every year, workers face denial of decent wages, social security, health care, trade union rights and increased work load. Throughout the world, the working class is fighting against this exploitation. The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) is spearheading these world wide struggles of the working class. October 3^rd, is the foundation day of the WFTU. Every year the foundation day of the WFTU is being observed as “International Action Day”. This year also, the WFTU has called on the trade unions throughout the world, to observe 3rd October as the International Action Day. The WFTU has directed to observe the day by highlighting the demand for better working conditions through implementation of a decent wage, reduced working hours, social security, healthcare, etc. Accepting the call of the WFTU, the CEC meeting of BSNLEU held at Kolkata, has decided to observe International Action Day programme in 8 cities, viz., Kolkata, Pune, Chennai, Trivandrum, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Guwahati.

SRI LANKAN PEOPLE CREATE HISTORY- ELECT A MARXIST AS THEIR NEW PRESIDENT.

Anura Kumara Dissanayake, a communist has been elected as the 10th President of Sri Lanka in the election held on 22-09-2024. The island nation, in 2022 had witnessed large scale popular unrest against the serious economic crisis due to the deep rooted corruption and authoritarian misrule of Rajapakse brothers. Anura Kumara Dissanayake and his party, JVP( Janatha Vimukthi Perumana) was in the forefront of the uprising which resulted in the collapse of the Rajapakse regime.

It is a pleasant surprise that ,JVP which got only 3% vote and just one MP in the election held in 2019 ushered to power by securing 5.74 million votes(42% ) defeating opposition leader Sajith Premadasa who got 4.53 million votes. The incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe was relegated to a distant 3rd with 2.3 million votes.

It is not that much easy to bring back Sri Lanka to an healthy economy and the new President is committed to the common people and workers of Sri Lanka. Dissanayake has exuded confidence that with the support of all he will be able to fulfil the dream of Sri Lankan people. In a message to the people after the election results, Dissanayake said; ” The dream can only be realized with a fresh start. The unity of Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and all Sri Lankans is the bedrock of this new beginning. The New Renaissance we seek will rise from this shared strength and vision. Let us join hands and shape this future together.”

So after Nepal in 1994, Sri Lanka also has turned red. It is a great and encouraging development for all the left and progressive forces all over the world.

A WELCOME TURN AROUND-BSNL GAINS IMMENSELY AT THE COST OF MASSIVE LOSS OF PRIVATE TELECOM COMPANIES.

According to the data released by TRAI, 29.3 lakh more customers have reposed faith in BSNL in the month of July, 2024. Yes, it is at the cost of the private telecom companies due to the steep hike in tariff made recently by these private telecom companies. As such, it is reported to be in the first time that Jio lost 7.5lakh customers, Airtel-16.9 lakh and Vodafone- 14.1 lakh. It underlines the importance and relevance of BSNL to provide telecom services to the people at affordable rates. So it is high time to launch 4/5G by BSNL and save the common people from sheer exploitation by the greedy private telecom companies..
