Aim of nationalism is to strengthen the country by national unity and protecting the interests of the public. It is a matter of utter surprise that the Sangh Organisation that lays claim to nationalism uses every issue including nationalism, unity and defense to communalise and further polarise the society openly to weaken the country. To win elections where on one hand in Jharkhand issue of tribal/non-tribal was used to polarise the state on the other hand in Jammu and Kashmir there was polarisation between two main areas.

In tribal dominated areas, tribals are hindrance in the game of looting of mineral wealth done in collusion of naxals-corporates-government. Where on one hand common tribals are target of Naxal violence, on the other hand they are being suppressed by government and police. Since past several days incidents of violence and suppression of tribals are on the rise, so is the capacity of Naxal violence. Government suppression continues especially in Chhattisgarh.

In Jammu and Kashmir, the communalism hidden in regional polarization and its entire history is blowing up as public outrage. This kind of politics has brought an ordinary Kashmiri face to face with country’s army that had been deployed there with the intention of protecting Kashmiris from terrorists. This situation can be dangerous for the entire country but government and sangh both, are entirely careless towards this situation.

With their minds hardened against discussion or negotiation, the chosen path of the Kashmir government is one drenched in the blood of innocent citizens. This strengthens the case for terrorism and separatism. Swaraj Abhiyan demands that the government should apologize to all affected citizens and pay those suitable damages and compensation. Along with this, a comprehensive program for education and employment for the youth of Kashmir, economic justice for farmers and laborers, and respect for the rights of political workers and media personnel are absolute necessities. We believe that this drought of political will and foresight is worsening the crisis in Kashmir. However, it is definitely possible for Kashmir to move ahead along with the rest of the nation while remaining within the bounds of the Indian Constitution and National unity as has been the case with the North East, Telangana and Punjab. We resolve to join with other democratic forces in Kashmir to take these ideas forward.

The same applies on North-East where Modi government is not able to decide on its policies properly and is shooting in dark. Agreement taken place with Nagas seems doubtful. Naga Organisations explaining about Agreement that is in their understanding (in which some areas of Manipur are included), is entirely different from what Central government without fully disclosing about the Agreement is trying to explain to the entire nation. It is difficult to tell the effect of this Agreement on Manipur. The people of Manipur have vitriolic angst against the presence of army and AFSPA. It is important that there is repudiation of it in Kashmir and Manipur.

The recent news that Anshankari Irom Sharmila, who has become a symbol of non-violent citizen activism has now decided to participate in organized and electoral politics is excellent news for Swaraj Abhiyan which is dedicated to the creation of alternative politics. This will make the need for alternative politics clear to all those individuals and organizations actively working to replace an unjust system with one which is just. 

Seeing the all-round failure and disrepute of Modi government that had come to power with pomp and show, the Prime Minister has taken the command of all Ministries under himself. All decisions are being taken in Prime Minister’s Office and rest of the Ministries are functioning like Post Officers. This extreme centralisation of power is taking the government further away from public, their problems as well as the solutions.

Alongwith the atmosphere against this government and its affiliated organisations another attempt by Sangh in taking over all educational institutions is coming to fore. Sanghi ideology does not accept any kind of difference of opinion, open debate or the development of knowledge based on independent thinking. In educational institutions the gross intrusion of Sangh is taking place by way of appointing unqualified persons of no academic credentials in the highest posts.
