CPIML and other left parties took out a joint peace march in Kolkata on April 10 against the Sangh-RSS orchestrated violence in Shibpur and other areas during the Ram Navami festival last week. The march which started from Balikhal to Shibpur was obstructed by the police, but the peace meeting continued.
Com. Jayatu Deshmukh, CCM said that BJP and RSS goons are infiltrating and instigating violence during festivals to implement their genocidal and barbaric ‘Gujarat Model’ in West Bengal. Calling for peace and harmony, he noted that we all must remain vigilant against the nefarious plans by Sangh elements to disturb harmony and organize violence.
Earlier in a protest held at Jadavpur Palbazar on April 7, CPIML State Secretary Comrade Abhijit Majumdar said that “as in Bihar and other places, we see the similar pattern of a pre-planned conspiracy by Sangh to turn festivals into a theatre of violence and create fear among minority communities”
We must summon the popular political will and resolve to defeat this fascist game plan and uphold the constitutional objective of secular democracy, Comrade Abhijit Majumdar added.
