Delhi, India: Protest against U.S. war-monger Mike Pompeo, June 25, 2019.

The All India Anti Imperialist Forum (AIAIF) and All India Peace and Solidarity Organization (AIPSO) jointly organised a protest rally and demonstration today in Delhi against the visit of Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of State, on his arrival in Delhi.

The rally started from Mandi House and culminated at American Centre. The rally marched ahead with the slogans of “Go back Pompeo, go back,” “Down, down U.S. imperialism,” and “Hands off Iran.” The rally then turned into a public meeting where leaders of various organisations spoke. From AIAIF, Pran Sharma (Secretary, Delhi) addressed the meeting.

The All India Anti-imperialist Forum stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people fighting to realize their just demands and strongly condemns the aggression of Israel and its barbaric attack on the demonstrating Palestinians, including women and children demanding their legitimate rights.

Manik Mukherjee, Vice-President of the All India Anti-Imperialist Forum, has issued the following statement:

The All India Anti-imperialist Forum condemns in strongest terms the missile attack in Syria by USA jointly with UK and France. It is a blatant act of aggression that flagrantly violates international law and is without UN sanction. Hence the perpetrators are guilty of war crime. 

Before the attack over a span of some days the imperialists let loose a barrage of propaganda about chemical attack at the town Douma by the Syrian Government to prepare the ground for a pre-planned attack. But there is not an iota of credible evidence to conclusively prove that the chemical attack did take place, nor is there any evidence to link the Syrian Government with the alleged attack. 

The world now knows how a completely false allegation of possession of weapons of mass destruction, especially chemical weapons, was used to justify the US-led attack on Iraq. A similar plan has now been hatched for Syria. The missile attack will only exacerbate the strife in Syria, plunge the Syrian people into even greater suffering and block the way to a peaceful just political solution of the Syrian problem, created by the imperialists themselves. 

We call upon the peace-loving democratic people of the world to rise up in protest against the dastardly attack on Syria and foil the imperialist plan to destabilize Syria.

All India Anti-Imperialist Forum hails worldwide anti-Trump protests

The All India Anti-imperialist Forum (AIAIF) hails the massive protests against the inauguration of racist, anti-immigrant, sexist, misogynist and anti-democratic Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. 

Millions of people from all walks of life, students, workers, poor people, migrants, civil rights activists and vast number of women came out on the streets in an unprecedented act of protest. 

Donald Trump threatened that he would build a wall along the Mexico-US border, would deport millions of immigrants, would keep a registry of Muslims, would sanction torture of prisoners and even would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons. His words often sound like the ranting of a deranged person. The protesting people have legitimate grounds to reject his extreme right wing agenda and his proposed policies. 

Election of a person like Donald Trump is a reflection of the deep crisis of the of the capitalist system, and being unable to come out of the crisis, capitalism is trying to win the support of the people through ultra-right chauvinistic demagogy and by diverting their attention from the real issues. 

Neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party can offer any solution to the problems in the life of the people and both parties had followed in the past and would follow in future similar pro-capitalist and anti-people domestic and international policies. 

The All India Anti-imperialist Forum hopes that these protests would be first step in ushering in the realization in the American people that the root cause of their problems is the capitalist system, and the real solution would come through sustained movements for overthrowing this system. 

We hope that the present mass protests would advance step by step under the correct leadership for protection and extension of democratic rights and values that would pave the way for anti-capitalist socialist revolution and bring about true emancipation of the American people.

Kolkata, India: March against U.S.-Israeli war crimes in Gaza, November 29, 2012.

"The International Anti-imperialist Coordinating Committee (IACC) and the All India Anti-imperialist Forum (AIAIF) organized a mass demonstration in Kolkata protesting against the barbaric attack from the air and the sea by Israel on the blockaded citizens of Gaza in Palestine.

"At the rally at Dharmatalla, the central district of Kolkata, Dhruba Mukherjee, General Secretary of AlAIF, explained in a brief speech the long history of Israeli attack on the Palestinian people, Israel’s denial of the right of the Palestinians to have their own sovereign and independent state, and the inhuman blockage of Gaza since 2007, denying the entry of even food and medicines. Israel could brazenly carry on these activities only because of the overt and covert support of the US and other imperialist countries and massive military aids. 

"He made an appeal to the freedom-loving people all over the world to organize protest movements in their respective countries in order to force their Governments to put pressure on Israel to stop the aggression and move back from the occupied territories. 

"An effigy of the Israeli Prime Minister and his principal backer the President of USA was put to flames to register the protest of the people. The assembled people then marched along the principal thoroughfare raising militant slogans and voicing solidarity with the Palestinians."

The All India Anti-imperialist Forum is observing June 11 as an All India Protest Day against the reported plans of the United States to establish naval bases in the Bay of Bengal.

With the plea of containment of China, United States has planned to set up bases in the Bay of Bengal and multiply its naval presence in the Indian Ocean. The real aim is to consolidate its military hegemony in South Asia and launch offensives against Iran, Afghanistan and other countries in the Middle East and Central Asia.

The All India Anti-imperialist Forum will lead people's protest marches on this date to the US Embassy, Consulates and American Centres in all the state capitals of India. It calls upon the Indian people to join the protest demonstrations in massive numbers demanding the withdrawal of American naval presence in the Bay of Bengal and pressurizing the Indian Government to give up its pro-US policies and military alliance with the US.
