p I want to thank the comrades who have organised this semi nar for this extra time allotted to us even though most of us took more than the 20 minutes given.

p I do not have anything else to add to my paper. The organisers of this seminar kindly reproduced our document and the summary that we read yesterday. All we want to say is in those documents.

p May I be permitted, above all to publicly express our gratitude to the people of Calcutta and the CPI(M) for the invitation extended to us to participate in this seminar and for the care taken of us.

I have heard different comrades speak which enables us to realise how complex, heterogeneous and topsy turvy the present moment is. Many ideas have been put forth, but I feel that what unites us is greater than what draws us apart, and it is that unity which makes us strong and the one that will make us invincible.
