Press Statement

 

Joint Appeal Issued by Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party
of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation,
Revolutionary Socialist Party and All India Forward Bloc 

 

 

Vice Presidential Election 

 

The Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, Communist
Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, Revolutionary Socialist Party
and All India Forward Bloc, jointly issue the following appeal on the Vice
Presidential election:

We, the Left parties, endorse the candidature of Justice Sudershan Reddy
(Retd.), who is contesting the election on behalf of all the opposition
parties. Justice Sudershan Reddy is an eminent jurist, widely respected for
his unwavering commitment to the core values of the Indian Constitution -
Democracy, Secularism, and Equality.

The Vice-Presidential election is not merely about numbers. It represents a
contest between two fundamentally different perspectives on the future of
India - whether our nation will continue as a constitutional democracy
upholding secularism, or be reduced to a Hindutva authoritarian State. It is
a battle to safeguard our syncretic culture and to resist the BJP-led NDA
government's ongoing attempts to undermine democracy and enforce
authoritarianism through the misuse of Constitutional positions such as
those of the Vice President, Election Commission, and Governors, among
others.

We appeal to all electors of the Vice-President to place the interests of
the nation above all else, to recall the oath they have taken to protect the
Constitution, and to cast their vote in favour of Justice Sudershan Reddy.
