The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on June 12, 2026

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the killing of three Indian seafarers in the attack on the oil tanker MT Settebello in the Gulf region. This tragic incident is yet another consequence of the reckless and aggressive military interventions carried out by US Imperialism in West Asia, which continue to destabilize the region, threaten international peace, and endanger the lives of innocent civilians and workers.

A state-level seminar organised by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) on the theme "The Ongoing Assault on the Working Class in India and the Rising Resistance" was held on Wednesday evening at the Makineni Basavapunnaiah Vignana Kendram. The seminar was presided over by CITU State President C H Narsinga Rao.

The objective of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is to establish a Hindu state (“Hindu Rashtra”) in India. But what exactly does a Hindu state mean? The obvious and immediate answer would be that instead of the present Constitutionally-guaranteed equality for all citizens irrespective of religion, there would be in such a state a superior status of the Hindus compared to those belonging to other religions, especially the Muslims who constitute the largest religious minority in the country.

Background

On the southern coast of Albania, where the Adriatic and Ionian worlds meet, the landscape unfolds with an almost impossible beauty. The Narta Lagoon glimmers beneath the Mediterranean sun. Flamingos move through the shallow waters, their reflections trembling in the wind. Pine forests bend toward the sea. Nearby, the island of Sazan rises from the water, a rugged outcrop of limestone cliffs and hidden coves, long protected by its history as a military zone. For generations, these landscapes belonged not only to the Albanian state but to the imagination of the Albanian people.
