This meeting also reminds the Indian people that in 1954, at the instance of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, both the Houses of the Indian Parliament had passed an unanimous resolution declaring Socialism as the cherished goal of India. In 1955 at the Avadi Session of the Indian National Congress and later on at the initiative of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, “Socialist Republic” was inserted in the Preamble of the present Constitution of India.”

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, twice President of the Indian National Congress, in his famous book, “Indian Struggle”, and in his historical speech of November, 1944 at the Imperial University of Tokyo (Japan), and Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, leader of the Hindustan Republic Army, during famous Court Trial, had firmly advocated that Socialism can be established only through dictatorship of the working class people and not on the pattern of Western Democracy based on the Parliamentary or the Presidential form of the Government.

And after having considered the opinion of the Indian people reflected in all the Lok Sabha elections held so far, especially in the 1980 Lok Sabha elections held, and the views of Netaji, Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and Senapati Chandra Shekhar Azad on Socialism, and in the best interest of maintaining the unity and integrity of India, this meeting of the AICC held in Maraimalai Nagar, hereby resolves that the system of administration should be based on the dictatorship of working class, peasantry and the socialist intellectuals and further direct the Indian Union Government to change its present policy based on mixed economy and to declare India as the “Union of Socialist Republics” as enshrined in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution at the initiative of Indira Gandhi, particularly when Congress has completed the glorious period of hundred years of its life. This should be done by radically amending the Indian Constitution, based on Scientific Socialism and Socialist Democracy by convening a special session of Parliament in the first week of January 1989.

The text of this resolution clearly indicates Yajeeji’s strong faith in Socialism. No doubt, his socialistic beliefs and human-inclusive approach made him a Socialist Saint.
