Mysuru: “Known for its unity in diversity and secular policies, India is now being forced to convert into a Hindu nation, all thanks to RSS and BJP,” said CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury here yesterday. He was speaking after inaugurating the State-level Convention organised by the party at P. Kalinga Rao auditorium at Dasara Exhibition Grounds.
“There have been severe attacks to destroy the four pillars of our Constitution — Secular Democracy, Social Justice, Economic Independence and Federal Structure. This apart, riots in the name of caste and religion is also being witnessed in the country and people involved in such acts are projecting it to be patriotism. It was Subhash Chandra Bose who promoted the slogan ‘Jai Hind.’ The real meaning of patriotism is to bring people together and not to divide them,” he added.
