Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Condemn RSS Chief's Atrocious Comments

 

The RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's atrocious comments in an interview to RSS
weeklies, constitutes an open and blatant challenge to the Constitution of
India, to equal rights of all citizens and to the rule of Law. He has
threatened the Muslim minority community that they will have to give up
ideas of "supremacy" to remain safe. He justifies the aggression of "Hindu
society" in the name of perceived historical wrongs, stating that Hindus are
"at war." He has virtually given a call for violence against a section of
Indian citizens on the basis of religious affiliation. 

 

In fact it is  not "Hindu society" but Hindutva brigades inspired by the RSS
ideology and backed by leaders like Bhagwat who have created a sense of
siege in the minority community by their constant assaults on the
constitutional and legal rights of minority communities at different levels.
Bhagwat's statements are an update of the hate filled communal writings of
RSS icons like Hegdewar and Golwalkar  that Muslims can live in India only
if they accept a subordinate position. 

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns these utterances. It calls
upon patriotic minded citizens and forces to unitedly  raise their voice
against this assault on basic constitutional values of secularism and
democracy.
