Statement of the Central Committee of Communist Ghadar Party of India, January 10, 2010
The working class did not succeed in becoming the leader of Indian society 60 years ago. Its latent potential has been locked up by parties that call themselves communist but have become cheer leaders for the Indian Republic. Such pseudo-communists teach workers to worship the 1950 Constitution, instead of preparing them to establish their own state with a new Constitution...
The working class of our country needs a vanguard party that would lift the veil of anti-consciousness that has been imposed on the class. Such a party cannot be an electoral machine; nor can it be a military machine. It has to be an instrument for empowering the working class and all the oppressed. It is this kind of party we have been building and strengthening over the past 29 years, the Communist Ghadar Party of India... || Read in Hindi

The working class must never forget that the demolition of the Babri Masjid and the subsequent communalization of the polity served the Indian ruling class in dividing the people and pushing through its thoroughly anti people agenda of globalization through liberalization and privatization. United around this goal, the bourgeoisie and its political parties deliberately fomented divisions in the working class and people, and paralysed the resistance struggles of the working people...

by Comrade Lal Singh, General Secretary, Communist Ghadar Party of India
The loud propaganda about the threat posed by naxalism is aimed at covering up the real issue at the heart of the conflict. This is the issue of people’s rights over their land and natural resources, which are being violated in the interests of capitalist super-profits...
The Communist Ghadar Party of India calls on all communists, revolutionaries, democrats and defenders of human rights to unite and raise their voices against the injustice of covering up the truth about the 1984 genocide.

Statement of the Central Committee of Communist Ghadar Party of India, 20 September, 2009
The people of Haryana must draw on their revolutionary tradition to build the worker-peasant alternative today. It cannot be a parliamentary front built from the top, by leaders of various parties. It has to be a people’s front that is based on political unity at the base, in every village and mohalla, every industrial township and factory...
Statement of the Maharashtra Regional Committee of the Communist Ghadar Party of India, 10 September 2009

Call of the Central Committee of Communist Ghadar Party of India, 8 September, 2009
 An important lesson from the negative experience of the past is that the struggle of the working class must be directed against the capitalist class, which is the main enemy. The struggle against the bourgeois class and its offensive must be waged uncompromisingly, no matter which party is running the government at the centre and in any state...
Over the decades, a popular slogan amongst the working masses has been “Yeh azadi jhooti Hai, Desh ki Janata Bhooki Hai” (this freedom is false as our people remain hungry). Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s call that India’s struggle shall continue, independent of whether the exploiters are white or brown, finds deep echo amongst the people. It has become common for people to say that “kale angrez” or brown sahibs have replaced the “gore angrez” or white sahibs. In states like Kashmir, Nagaland, Manipur and Assam, the masses of people have continued to shed blood for “azadi”, for freedom and an end to Indian imperialist and colonial plunder...

 May 1, International Workingmen's Day, this year came right in the midst of the elections for the 15th Lok Sabha. With abysmally low voter participation, the elections revealed once again the utter disgust of the working people for this system of parliamentary democracy, in which election only serves to strengthen the rule of the big monopoly capitalists over the working people...

What has led to the deep global economic crisis? Who is responsible? What is the solution? The bourgeoisie is trying its best to cover up the truth that capitalism is a crisis-ridden system. Unprecedented levels of global exploitation and plunder, to satisfy the unlimited greed of a wealthy minority, is responsible for the problem ...
 Comrade Prakash Rao, spokesperson of the CGPI elaborated on salient features of the manifesto released by the Party.

He explained how both the ballot and the bullet are part of the arsenal of capitalist rule. He pointed out that communists use every occasion to expose the political and economic system of capitalism...

Statement of the Central Committee of Communist Ghadar Party of India, 11th Jan 2009
More and more people are realizing that a there is a serious and growing threat to peace in the South Asia region. Who or what is threatening peace in South Asia? India blames Pakistan and Pakistan blames India for creating war hysteria. The United States, meanwhile, is happy to present itself as the ‘honest broker’ between the warring neighbours. Following the Mumbai terror attacks, various American leaders including President elect Obama made statements.... (Read Punjabi Version)
Statement of the Central Committee of Communist Ghadar Party of India, 12th Dec 2008
Following the Mumbai terror attacks of 26-28 November, the degree of US penetration and interference in South Asia is on the rise.
