Press Release

November 24, 2018

 

The Left parties - Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of
India, All India Forward Bloc, Revolutionary Socialist Party, Communist
Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation and Socialist Unity Centre of
India (Communist) -have issued the following statement:

 

Observe December 6 as `Defend the Constitution and Secularism Day'

 

December 6, this year, marks the 26th anniversary of the demolition of the
Babri Masjid.  In the current situation, it is essential to observe this day
in defence of secularism and democracy.

 

The RSS led outfits have begun a campaign to demand that the Central
government pass a legislation/ordinance to facilitate the building of the
Ram temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya, bypassing the Supreme Court.

 

This campaign is designed to subserve the communal agenda of the Sangh
Brigade and nullify the provisions relating to secularism in the Indian
Constitution. The Left parties are strongly opposed to this effort to
subvert the judicial verdict on the Ayodhya dispute.  The Sangh Brigade
cannot be allowed to subvert the Constitutional provisions in the name of
`faith'.  

 

The Left parties call upon all its units to mobilise to observe December 6,
also Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's death anniversary, as `Defend the Constitution and
Secularism Day'.  All state units should work out programmes of holding
joint demonstrations, dharnas and meetings.
