CPM leader Sitaram Yechury harped on ‘inquilab zindabad’ as the time-tested slogan to counter Hindutva aimed at turning secular India into a Hindu Rashtra.
Yechury was speaking at the Netaji Indoor Stadium to mark centenary celebrations of the Communist Party of India, founded at Tashkent on October 17, 1920.
He said the details of communist contributions, right from its foundation, will be documented throughout the year-long centenary observations.

The CPM leader pointed out that RSS leader VD Savarkar had floated the two-nation theory two years before MA Jinnah gave the slogan.
Yechury argued that a “corporate communal alliance” is at work propagating the ideology of aggrandizing communal “jingoistic nationalism”.
