Doraisamy Raja
General Secretary
Communist Party of India
Dear comrade,
The Communist Party of Australia (CPA) sends our warmest greetings to the Communist Party of India (CPI) for your 25th Congress in Chandigarh, Punjab, from 21 to 25 September.
We salute you in your struggle for working-class economic democracy, voter’s rights, secular society and scientific socialism in India.
It is clear that the class struggle in India is entering a heightened stage, with farmers and agricultural workers, women and youth playing a prominent role in mass organisation. We acknowledge the leading role of the CPI in unifying progressive and working-class forces and coordinating the struggle against capitalist ruling-class power in your country.
A point of intersection between our two parties is the anti-war and anti-imperialist drive. Working-class movements in the Global South are playing a crucial role in resisting the brutal US-Israeli genocide in Palestine. We must unite in resisting the United States and Western powers and their heightened aggression around the world, in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Subcontinent, and especially against countries that are pursuing socialist construction.
We wish you grand success in your Congress. May it further unify your Party and advance the cause of the liberation of the working class in India and the relentless struggle against colonialism, fascism and imperialism.
We sincerely hope there will be more opportunities for exchanges between our parties into the future.
Long live the Communist Party of India!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
Communist Party of Australia, CPA
