On the occasion of the New Year 2025, the Central Committee of the Communist Ghadar Party of India conveys militant revolutionary greetings to all its members, supporters and sympathisers. We convey revolutionary greetings to all workers, peasants, women, youth and all those fighting for their rights, against exploitation, oppression and discrimination.
We salute the heroic deeds of the Palestinian, Lebanese and other resistance fighters who are waging courageous struggle against the genocidal war by the US and Israel. We hail the mass protests all over the world against this monstrous crime. We hail the struggles of the working class and peoples of all countries against capitalist exploitation, state terror and suppression of democratic rights.
We salute the workers of Indian Railways, and of electricity companies, coal mines, banks, insurance, telecom and other sectors who are fighting uncompromisingly against the privatisation program. We hail the struggles of the workers in auto companies, electronics, IT, steel, garments and other sectors against their intensified exploitation. We salute the Anganwadi and Asha workers, other health workers, teachers, government employees and others who are fighting for their rights as workers, including their right to a guaranteed pension.
We salute the kisans who are heroically persisting in their struggle for guaranteed minimum support prices, against the Central Government which is hell bent on pursuing the monopoly capitalist agenda of agricultural marketing reforms.
We hail the persistent struggle of women and men against sexual discrimination and the growing violence against women. We salute the youth who are agitating against unemployment and for education of uniform good quality for all. We hail the struggle of the people of all religious beliefs against the attempts of those in power to incite communal conflicts. We wish all success to the Indian students in Canada and other countries who are waging a courageous struggle in defence of their basic rights.
A super-rich minority is growing richer in all capitalist countries, while the majority of working people face extreme economic hardships, including inflation, unemployment and insecurity of livelihood. Masses of people are longing for a qualitative change in the nature of political power and the orientation of the economy. They are longing for a system in which they have a say in deciding the course of development, and social production serves the needs of all.
The conditions are crying out for the replacement of bourgeois democracy by a superior system of proletarian democracy, in which the role of a political party is to make sure that the broad masses of working people exercise decision-making power. The working class has to lead the struggle to overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie, establish the rule of the working people and carry out the revolutionary transition from capitalism to socialism, paving the way for a classless communist society. Providing the working class with the consciousness and organisation needed to accomplish this mission is the challenge facing the communist parties in all countries.
Let us welcome the New Year with revolutionary optimism. Let us take up the tasks we face with courage and determination. The day is not far off when the sun will shine for all of us. The sun will shine for the workers, peasants, women and youth when we end the rule of the capitalist class and take political power into our hands.
Happy New Year!
Inquilab Zindabad!
