Left parties’ week-long celebrations to commemorate Telangana armed struggle conclude
The week-long celebrations to commemorate the Telangana Armed Struggle organised by the two Left parties – CPI (Marxist) and the CPI – concluded on Sunday with the two parties organising public meetings at different places.
The CPI organised a public meeting at Exhibition Grounds while the CPI(M) State secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram was the chief guest at the celebrations organised in Bhadradri Kothegudem district.
CPI leader K. Sambasiva Rao hoisted the national flag at the party office Makhdoom Bhavan this morning before proceeding to the public meeting that was addressed by CPI general secretary D. Raja and other senior leaders.
The CPI (M) on its part conducted meetings in different districts starting on September 11 with the party’s Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat leading the rally and a public meeting. Senior CPI(M) leaders including B.V. Raghavulu participated in the celebrations in different districts during the week.
Almaya Munnettam (Lay People to the Fore), group in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church opposed to the synod-recommended Mass, rejected a circular issued by Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil and apostolic administrator Bosco Puthur on June 9 to implement the unified Mass in the archdiocese from July 3.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
