Press Statement:

 

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

Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand BJP Governments Must Rescind This Divisive
Order

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns
the decision by the BJP state governments in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand
directing all eateries along the entire stretch of the Kanwar Yatra route to
display the owners' names. Clearly, this is designed to sharpen communal
polarization and foster tensions among religious communities.

 

This move is blatantly unconstitutional and strikes at the foundation of the
fundamental right of equality for all citizens.

 

While the immediate objective is to sharpen communal polarization, such
actions by the BJP governments may soon lead to the exacerbation of caste
tensions and intensifying caste-based social oppression. This is the
direction in which the BJP aims to reorder our society along the lines of
the 'Manusmriti', negating the foundations of our Constitution and its
guarantee of liberty, equality, fraternity and justice for all citizens.

 

BJP allies in the ND alliance must immediately ensure that such divisive and
dangerous moves are not permitted and must mount pressure both the UP and
Uttarakhand governments to rescind this order.
