March against communalism

Joint Appeal

Join Hands to Make ‘Sampradayikta Virodhi March’ a Grand Success !

Date: 6th December, 2014, Time: 11 AM
Assembly Place: Mandi House, Delhi



Dear Friends,

In the current phase of corporate-communal offensive under Narendra Modi regime, 6th December 2014 has an exceptional implication. We have been remembering the date (when the historical Babari Masjid was demolished by the Hindutva forces in 1992) not only as solidarity to the minority Muslim community, but also as a challenge to defend secularism and diversity of the country.

During the last six months well planned and consolidated attacks on minority communities (especially Muslims) and democratic-forces have intensified to a great extant. Hindutva forces are going all-out to create communal tension and hate mongering across the country. More than 600 communal clashes in UP during the first nine weeks of Modi rule and the recent attacks on  Muslims in Bawana and Trilokpuri in Delhi are glaring examples of their nefarious plan. Hindutva forces have also attacked anti-communal programmes in Patna, Pune and Lucknow. The state under the leadership of Modi is not only a silent spectator of communal violence perpetrated by Hindutva forces but is culpable of the crime. Authoritarian Modi government is also preparing the ground to crackdown on all shades of people’s movement.

The challenge before the secular, democratic and pro-people forces of the country is grave and manifold. We are organizing a ‘Sampradayikta Virodhi March’ (Anti-communal March) from Mandi House to Jantar Mantar, Delhi on 6th December, 2014. We are gathering at Mandi house at 11 AM.  Let us come together and resolve to organize a broad-based resistance against the offensive of communal Hindutva forces.

We, earnestly appeal to all secular, democratic and pro-people organizations and individuals to participate in the Joint March. Please bring your own banners, leaflets, placards and make the March a grand success. Please endorse our Joint Appeal and circulate it widely.

Hoping for positive response.
