It’s High Time for Backward Sections to Unite: Thaheedul Islam
Kollam (Kerala): For the liberation of backward sections of the society, it’s high time for them to unite, said Thaheedul Islam, Social Democratic Party of India’s West Bengal president. He was inaugurating the public meeting at Ayathil junction held as part of reception accorded for Jana Kerala Yathra by SDPI.
The unity of the oppressed people is the very aim of the party, he added. Even after six decades of independence, the majority of the country id reeling under hunger and poverty. The upper class people who constitute only 15 percentage of Indian population are in the helm of all affairs. All governments and parties which claim to be secular are discriminating against Muslims, Dalits and other backward classes, he told the big gathering who reached here to welcome Jana Kerala Yathra.
Even in West Bengal, where so called pro-poor communist party is in power for last three decades, backward sections are below poverty line. The government there couldn’t even give safety for minority communities from the atrocities of Hindutwa forces, he alleged.
The Yathra was received by hundreds of people of Kollam with great fervor and enthusiasm this morning. It will continue its journey through the district tomorrow before entering Thiruvananthapuram. The Yathra which began form Kasarkode on 2nd of this month will conclude on 24.

SDPI to hold ‘Ladies Parliament March’ against WRB
Alleppey (Kerala): The Social Democratic Party of India, (SDPI), will hold "Ladies Parliament March" and stage "dharna" (sit-in) against the Women Reservation Bill in the present form on May 13 at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
Addressing a Press conference E. Abubacker, SDPI national president, after the party's two-day National Working Committee, (NWC), meeting which concluded here on Sunday, said women leaders associated with the party and delegates of Muslims and other minorities, OBCs, Dalits, STs and other communities from various parts of the country would stage the protest demonstration.
The NWC meeting was presided over by Abubacker. Advocate Sajid Siddiqui, vice president of the party, welcomed the NWC members while A. Sayeed, general secretary, presented the secretary’s report.
Abubacker said that after the conclusion of the "dharna" a delegation of the participants will meet the President of India Mrs. Pratibha Singh Patil and present her a memorandum demanding her not to give assent to the Bill in its present form unless a provision is made in it for sub-quota for women of all weaker sections of the country as demanded by these communities from the very beginning.
This protest demonstration is a prelude to the national-level campaign of the party on the issue which would be held in the coming September, he added.
Replying to questions Abubacker said the present form of the Bill is a hidden agenda for reducing strength of SCs, STs, OBSs and minorities in the legislature. The prevalent quota of SCs and STs will come down by one third in case the Bill is passed by Lok Sabha in the present form, he pointed out.
This hidden agenda of the political parties of high castes which are supporting the Bill shall be exposed, he asserted.
Moreover, he said, the highly inadequate representation of Muslims in the Indian Parliament will further have a setback. A number of drawbacks have already been raised by several political parties and communities leaders for amendment in the Bill for making it reasonably democratic in nature, he informed.
Abubacker said that it is strange that the parties who are championing the cause for women reservation in legislature fail to give 33 per cent representation to women in their own rank and file and it is rightly concluded that they are not serious about the women reservation and just raised a populist issue for taking women as a large vote bank.
Meanwhile, he informed that apart from taking stock of the party's activities a number of other resolutions were passed in the NWC meeting. One of the resolution adopted was about the unethical reserving of constituencies and wards for SC/STs and women in Muslim dominated areas to undermine the democratic rights of the Muslim community. The resolution deplored this move vehemently and the SDPI resolved to fight tooth and nail the conspiracy of earmarking constituencies and wards as reserved for SCs, STs and women in Muslim concentrated localities. The SDPI has resolved to fight it out legally and build up public pressure on the powers that be to undo the wrong done to the Muslim community.
Abubacker said a package of programme has been chalked out for the expansion and strengthening the base of SDPI in northern states of India.
Hafiz Manzoor Ali Khan, who is the president of Rajasthan unit of SDPI, was elected as secretary of the party in the meeting, he informed.
He said that after reviewing the working of various state units of the party, the NWC decided to launch membership campaign in various states.
Meanwhile, other resolutions passed in the NWC meeting included (i) Implementation of Justice (retd.) Ranganath Mishra Commission’s recommendations; (ii) Expressing anguish and concern on atrocities being committed against Dalits in Gujarat; (iii) Condemning the meeting of Buddhadev Bhattacharya, the Chief Minister of Left government in West Bengal, with the Ambassador of Israel and (iv) Appeal to include all Indians in the ongoing Census without any discrimination.

The leaders in their fiery rhetorical speeches urged the masses to unite as they resolved to empower all marginalized sections of the society by mobilizing themselves into a political force, instead of remaining as mere vote banks of different political parties in elections. The audience listened to their leaders in rapt silence and often clapped heavily to express their approval to the exhortations of the speakers.
The main objective of this journey is to introduce to the political conscious people of Kerala about the ideology of the newly formed SDPI whose slogan is “Freedom from Fear and Freedom from Hunger”. The captain and vice captain of the “Jan Kerala Yatra” are M. K. Manoj Kumar and Ashraf Maulvi respectively.
Speaking on the occasion Samajwadi Party MP Kamaal Akhtar said lauded SDPI for waging battle for the rights of Muslims, Dalits and Other Backward classes people. He lamented that Congress has always kept these people in fear and used them as vote banks. He appealed the assemblage to make SDPI strong so that in 2014 Lok Sabha elections the party becomes No. 1 in the state and then Mulayam Singh’s Samajwadi Party will stand with it in the Parliament.
Akhtar criticized Congress that its intentions are not good to grant share in the Women Reservation Bill, (WRB), to Muslim women and other weaker sections of the society. He wondered that feuding parties like CPM, CPI, BJP who always cross swords on issues came on one platform with the ruling Congress when WRB was passed n Rajya Sabha. He lamented that Union Minster E. Ahmed of Muslim League also sided with the Congress on the issue like other parties. He termed Muslim League which is a major partner in Kerala politics has become “Sonia League” for t has harmed the interests of Muslims.
He alleged that in last 62 years 16000 communal riots have taken place in India with mostly Muslims remaining at the receiving end when Congress ruled for more than 50 years. However, those responsible have not been punished whereas the murderers of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Beant Singh (former Punjab Chief Minster), Gen. Vidhya etc. have been hanged.
Adv. Sajid Siddiqui called upon those who were embarking on the state-wide journey to take the message of the “Yatra” to every home in the state so that the people are well aware of SDPI which has come up on the political scene to fight for the rights of the common man.
Later, C. P. Muhammad Ali and N.U. Salam translated Akhtar’s and Siddiqui’s speech in Malayalam respectively.
Others who spoke on the occasion included A. Sayeed, SDPI general secretary; Adv. KP Mohammad Shareef, Kerala state president of SDPI; KPA Majeed Faizy, Kerala state general secretary; Abdul Majeed Kodalipet, Karnataka state president; Manoj Kumar, the captain of the “Yatra”; K. H. Nasar, Treasurer Popular Front of India, (PFI); Karunakaran, Mavilon Cultural Movement; and P. K. Radha Krishnan, (Apad Boo Samara Samiti).
At the outset Ikram-ul-Haque, Director of the “Jan Kerala Yatra”, delivered welcome speech while at conclusion of the programme A. Shafi, District president SDPI, Kasaragod, proposed a vote of thanks.
Later, a public meeting was held at Kasaragod wherein journalist Pervez Bari, SDPI Media secretary, was the chief guest. A host of state and district leaders also addressed the meeting.
Pervez Bari speaking on the occasion stressed upon forging unity amongst Muslim Ummah and adhering to the teachings of the Holy Quran and Sunnah to achieve the goals in this life and Hereafter. While throwing light on the prevailing political scenario in India, Bari said the emergence of SDPI on the political horizon is a boon for the marginalized, minorities and Other Backward Classes of people. The secret of success lies in the unity of these people and become empowered to share political power to fulfill the dreams which lie unrealized since India’s independence.
It may be mentioned here that SDPI was formed to realize a social order and political system based on the Constitutional ideals of justice, equality, liberty and fraternity. The SDPI was officially constituted on June 21, 2009 in New Delhi and was formally launched a month later on July 29 with E. Abubacker of Kerala as its president, Advocate Sajid Siddqui of Bhopal as vice president and A. Sayeed also of Kerala as general secretary.
On October 18 last year the SDPI manifesto was released in National Delegates Meet held in New Delhi. The manifesto highlighted that two fears obstruct the organic development of the citizens which are: Fear of hunger and fear of violence. The party will work for absolute removal of these two fears from the mind of common man.The manifesto called for the empowerment of all marginalized sections of the society by mobilizing themselves into a political force, instead of remaining as mere vote banks of different political parties in elections. It demanded balanced representation of all social groups in legislatures and all administrative bodies nominated by government, in proportion to their population.
