People's Alliance for Democracy & Secularism Condemns Dy CM of UP for intimidating DM Kasganj for doing his duty
Statement of
Condemnation against Dy CM for intimidating DM Kasganj for doing his duty
PADS condemns the Dy
CM of UP for intimidating DM Kasganj. Instead of taking action against the
miscreants, interpreting valid observations of the senior officer on Facebook
as views of a political party and promising action against it is a violation of
the basic rights of officers doing their duty to uphold the democratic rights
of citizens of this country and is an attempt by this outright communal and
fascist government to muzzle any voice of dissent.
As incident after incident
in this country shows, the blatant violation of the secular traditions of this
country in the name of National sentiment is only serving to deepen alienation
of people from the nation rather than unite them. Waving of the saffron flag
from the gate of the District Sessions court in Udaipur , forcibly taking a
flag march into minority area (where Muslims were anyway hoisting the
National flag), distributing justice in the name of the cow by open lynching in
connivance with the local authorities has no connection with the Nationalism
that these virulent sections purport to promote.
The recent declaration
that Taj Mahal was built by Hindu rulers and the demand to convert it into a
temple shows what respect they have have for truth and for the religion they
claim to be disciples of as well. These brazen attempts to communalise and
divide the society have no precedent in Indian history and in fact is
desecrating the 'glorious past' in the name of upholding and preserving
it.
PADS appeals to all
sections of the society to take note of this serious perversion of the
democratic rights of the people of this country and rise as one to defeat these
attempts to divide and polarise the society.
