आपका
 जन आंदोलनों का राष्ट्रीय समन्वय

 

Come and be a part of the campaign !

 

Recent turmoil in the country have shown the desire and will of people for a systemic change. It is evident that the constitution is often respected but rarely followed. That is why, in order to have fundamental changes, along with the constitution, it is also necessary for the acceptance and clarity of the issues and basis of values involved. If state does not recognize its duty of acting on the values like equality, justice, simplicity, self reliance etc. as enshrined in the directive principles in constitution then we would have to motivate the citizens of this country to bring about a change in the 'state'. The society then also need to challenge itself. The inspired masses that have stood against corruption need to raise their voice against injustice too and instead of contributing to the destruction of resources and displacement, work towards human development for a beautiful and prosperous country.

 

Corruption is the reason as well as product of inequality, violence, loot and exploitation. Politics and economics are the means of corruption. It is important to change this now. It is important that along with the country's manual labourers, peasants – workers – artisans etc and the oppressed tribals, dalits, etc sensitive and thoughtful citizens of this country too participate in this campaign. Every committed and responsible citizen should give atleast 2 - 4 hours of his / day a week for development work (education, health, domestic production, service of the underprivileged etc.)

 

Join for democratic reforms, for a people's

  • There is a lot of corruption in the politics and administration of the country. To erase this, we need electoral and political reforms. Politics should not only be a game of the capitalists but also work for the interests of the common masses. This is the basis of a true democracy.
  • Instead of demanding 33% reservation for women in parliamentary institutions, let there be representation of both sexes from each constituency at every level  of governance.
  • There should be an 80% attendance of representatives in the Vidhan Sabha or Lok Sabha and for the rest of the days in their electoral constituencies. Election expenses for publicity should be according to rules and the minimum expenses for the candidates should be from the allotted election funds. The promises made by politicians and their parties in manifestos should be made binding on them.
  • The public should be given the "Right Not to Vote" or as called "Right to Reject" if a suitable candidate is not in the the elections and they can express their dislike.
  • Politicians, officials and employees should lead simple life styles. There should be a reduction in their unnecessary privileges.
  • There should be no violence and terrorism directed from the state. In the advent of every issue of dispute and conflict the country should adopt a line of dialogue. Public dialogue and public hearings should be organized to resolve conflicts.

Join for economic and social reforms towards a socialist society...

 

  •  The first right upon water, forests, land, minerals etc should be of Gram Sabha or Basti Sabha. The issues of development and progress of a village or of Basti should be first decided by the residents, and the decisions made by Gram Sabha and Basti Sabha should be the basis for progress and employment. There should be an end to forced displacement of people from their land and a law for development planning should be made.
  • There should be strict control upon the transfer and use of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes. There should be no encouragement to corporatization and contract farming and the influx of foreign capital in retail trade should be stopped. By implementing land ceiling in rural and urban areas there should be equitable and fair use of the land. The excess land left after sealing should be distributed to the landless over which ownership should be given to both, men and women. There should be no inequality in fixing prices of agriculture and industry products, let there be a proportionate equity.
  • There should be an end to inequality in the country. The politicians are working only for the interests of a handful of people, not for the interests of the masses. There shouldn't be a difference of more than 1:10 in the income of the people and a line of prosperity should be determined. Tax should be levied on property / assets not on small productions or incomes.
  • Honest producers of this country – workers, artisans, fisher folks, and others in unprotected and unorganised sector continue to be oppressed and often victimized. The 93% of workers who have been denied social security pensions should be given protection equivalent to the organized and secured sectors. There should be access to food, water, shelter etc to everyone equitably. Every service, every resource or development benefits should be equitably distributed.
  • Minimum wages should be as such that the whole family is provided for by the income of one. The below poverty line families list should be enumerated by the members of the gram sabha or the electorate of the urban areas.
  • The violence, discrimination and injustice upon dalits, tribals, women and Minorities should be stopped and they should be given just treatment and respect.
