Comrade Nihar Mukherjee, General Secretary, SUCI, in a statement issued on March 26, 2005 severely condemned the treacherous role of the CPI(M)-CPI in providing safe passage to the black Patents (Amendment) Bill in Parliament boasting of some cosmetic changes in the draft at their instance as a ‘‘big achievement’’ and thus shamelessly surrendering people’s interest before the dictates of global imperialism-capitalism operating through WTO. This once again exposes how sham is the opposition of the pseudo-Marxists to the brazen anti-people policies of the Congress-led UPA government subserving the ruling capitalist class.

Comrade Mukherjee called upon the people to rise in protest against this abject betrayal to their cause by the Congress and its pseudo-Marxist allies and organize massive democratic movement throughout the country to thwart the disastrous economic policies of the government.
