The Home Minister, in the parliament on March 30, repeated the typical RSS lies against the communist movement calling it inspired by a 'foreign' ideology.

The discussion on leftwing extremism in Parliament on March 30, 2026 predictably became a platform for the Modi government to vilify the entire communist movement in India. The Home Minister repeated the typical RSS lies against the communist movement calling it inspired by a 'foreign' ideology. Here's Amit Shah repeating the stupidest allegation made against communists, adherents of the most universal ideology of human emancipation, ever since the Communist Manifesto put forward the vision of a world without exploitation and oppression.

Communism has inspired India's finest patriots beginning with the HSRA leadership core of Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqullah Khan, Bhagat Singh and their comrades and successive generations of heroes of India's freedom movement and champions of people's welfare and people's rights in independent India. In stark contrast to the glorious legacy of India's communists, the Sangh brigade has always stood at the other end of the spectrum, collaborating with the colonial rulers during the freedom movement days, and now misusing political power to mortgage the country's interests to the US imperialism and rob the working people to enrich the billionaires.

Mark the timing. This ideological vilification of communists from the floor of Parliament is meant to camouflage the most brazen capitulation by the Modi government to the US-Israel axis of aggression and war and most blatant betrayal of India's national interests. This ideological witch hunt is however no longer limited to the anti-communist agenda of the RSS. With the sinister coinage and usage of terms like 'urban naxal', 'andolanjeevi', 'anti-national' and the like, the government has been targeting every single stream of dissent in a bid to transfer all resources of India to a few corporate hands.

The heirs of Bhagat Singh will never be intimidated by the anti-communist bluster of the RSS and the Modi government. The communist movement will rebuff this agenda by intensifying the battle against fascism and imperialism on every front.
