Delegations from China, Vietnam, Cuba, North Korea, Japan, Italy, France and Nepal will participate in the national meet, held once in three years to prepare a document on the current political situation in the country.

Speaking to newsmen here today, CPI state secretary R Nallakannu said the agenda would include plans to revive the United Front and create a forum to strengthen the Leftist movement in the country. ``Resolutions based on the impressions to create a United Front in a new form, which can form the best alternative to the present government,'' would be passed.

Leaders from CPI-M, Forward Bloc, Revolutionary Socialist Party and Mumbai-based Peasants and Workers Party would be invited to the conference. An alternative to the ``religious fanaticism'' would also be the main point of discussion,Nallakannu said.

Madurai hosted such a national conference in 1953.

Nallakannu said a massive rally would be held on the concluding day, with thousands of CPI cadres participating in it. He said the deliberations at the conference would be open. A printed document on the Indian political scenario and the role of the participating government in the current political set-up in India would be made ready at the end of the conference. The draft was ready, but they would be put to discussions.

Nallakannu said the conference would review the past performance of the United Front government and that of the present BJP-led coalition government and where it failed. The conference would lay emphasis on the need for all partners in a coalition government to adopt common action plans for implementation in the interest of country's economic growth, he added.
