CPI revives merger debate

The CPI daily, however, began the editorial with a caveat that it was forced to write on the issue considering the wish of thousands and spurred by a large number of letters it received from the party workers and sympathisers.

“Factors like division in the world Communist movement and differences over the approach towards Indian bourgeoisie were the main reasons that caused the split in the Indian Communist movement 50 years ago.

These have become irrelevant now. There is no point in harping on these issues and the two parties remaining divided.  The need of the hour is to work towards unity in view of the contemporary realities,” it said.
