On the 22nd anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition, programs were held across Tripura to protest against the attempts to weaken the secular fabric of India by the communal forces. Rallies, mass meetings at the call of CPI(M) were organised at all the sub division head quarters with thousands of people reaffirming their pledge to resist any assault on the communal harmony by the fundamentalist forces.
At Agartala a rally walked past the city from Rabindra Bhavan to Shakuntala road. Here a mass meeting was addressed by CPI(M) Sadar Sub divisional committee secretary Samar Adhya and MLA Ratan Das.
The speakers said, during the last 6 months of Modi government, every other day communal riots are taking place across the country. A church has been burnt down in New Delhi. The language used by a central minister at an election rally in Delhi are proof enough that the Sangh Parivar is desperately trying to sharpen the communal polarisation across the country in order to further the narrow electoral interests of BJP. In this context they reminded the barbaric demolition of Babri Maszid and urged the people to reject the communal tactics of the Sangh Parivar to protect the secular and pluralistic character of modern India.
