The CPI(M) said on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech in Mathura, inaugurating the first anniversary of his government, was loaded with “serious dangers” of escalating communal passions across the country.
“Remember that the RSS/BJP have all along highlighted that they shall ‘liberate’ the Ram Janmasthan (Ayodhya), Krishna Janmasthan (Masthura) and Kashi Vishwanath temple (Benaras). Appropriately, PM Modi was presented with a Krishna idol by the local BJP MP Hema Malini,” said CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury.
He said the campaign to build a Ram temple at Ayodhya led to the destruction of the centuries-old Babri Masjid and unleashed a vicious communal poison that claimed the lives of thousands of people across the country and continues to breed insecurity amongst religious minorities.
Ominous signals“PM Modi has retained his seat in Benaras, resigning from his home State Gujarat, having contested in two Parliamentary constituencies. Now the launch of this programme celebrating the end of one year from Mathura. Ominous signals, indeed,” he said in an editorial of his party’s mouthpiece, People’s Democracy .
