The Parliament Winter session starts in the last week of Nov 09 and may continue till Dec end. Under this situation commencing an Indefinite Hunger fast when the Parliament is not in session , may not attract the attention of the highest forum of our Country “the Parliament” and the external efforts that can be created through Parliamentarian may results in vain. Hence considering the factors the undersigned and the Central President in consultation with other CEC Members has decided to postpone the proposed “INDEFINITE HUNGER FAST” to December 2009 and decided to conduct the CEC Meeting on 2nd October 09, in SW Rly, the ratification and the proposed date for Indefinite Fast will be an added agenda for CECM. The ‘Membership List’ along with quota and as well the special Fund to be submitted in the CECM without fail.
I hope by this time most of the Divisions might have complied the direction of Post Card / (Inland letter) Campaign by the spouses of SM to MR, if not please send at an early and the compliance report may please be forwarded.
The Draft copy of Memorandum to be submitted to MPs is enclosed with. Please do apprise maximum MP in your jurisdiction and insist the MPs to forward it to CRB as well to invite them to visit the Fasting Pandal and to raise the issue in the floor of Parliament.
