PRESS INVITE
FROM BABRI TO DADRI
STOP PLAYING WITH LIVES AND RIGHTS OF MINORITIES
Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan, along with Police Reforms Watch, Bharat Bachao
Andolan, Vidyarthi Bharti, Phule-Ambedkar Manch and Jagrut Kamgaar Manch is
organizing a press conference to protest against the increasing harassment of
Muslim youth by the police in Mumbai and the increasing intolerance towards the
Muslim community.
To condemn the rising hatred and animosity and the inability of the state to
adequately respond ensuring security and safety of all citizens, this press
meet is being called. Muslims as well as all citizens of India are entitled to
a safe and secure environment to develop and prosper. It is the responsibility
of the state and it various structures to ensure that this happens. But in the
last many months we have seen increasing acts of violence against the
minorities. Especially the role of police is less than adequate. The thrashing
of 2 youth by the Bandra west police station and the inability of the police to
prevent the incidences of intimidation by anti-social elements and the even
larger concern of the inability of the state to accept criticism and dissent
from the society is a dangerous sign.
As civil society organisations working with the most marginalized sections, we
would like to register our protest. Please do send your reporter to cover the
event.
Date: 21th October 2015/ Time: 2 pm
Place: Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh, Opp. Azad Maidan, CST, Mumbai.
