CONVENTION AGAINST COMMUNALISM
AND
ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY
OCTOBER 18, 2008
3.30 PM TO 7PM
MAVLANKAR AUDITORIUM
RAFI MARG, NEW DELHI-110001
It is clear today that our secular and democratic republic faces a
challenge regarding its very character. The Bajrang Dal and the VHP,
with the open support of the BJP -- and in the states it is ruling
with the help of the state machinery -- have mounted a savage attack
on the Christians and Muslims. Tens of thousands are in refugee camps
in Orissa and Assam. Churches are being attacked in Karnataka.
Communal violence, clashes and hatred between communities are now a
preparation for the elections.
The secular forces and the civil society need to intervene if we are
to resist these attacks. Towards building a broad initiative on this
issue, we are calling for a convention.
