December 6, this year, marks the 26th anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid. In the current situation, it is essential to observe this day in defense of secularism and democracy.
The statement accuses that the RSS led outfits have begun a campaign to demand that the central government pass a legislation/ordinance to facilitate the building of the Ram temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya, bypassing the Supreme Court.”This campaign is designed to subserve the communal agenda of the Sangh brigade and nullify the provisions relating to secularism in the Indian Constitution,” the Left parties said in the statement. “In the current situation, it is essential to observe this day (December 6) in defense of secularism and democracy,” they said, adding, “The Sangh brigade cannot be allowed to subvert the Constitutional provisions in the name of faith.”
