FOR PEACE, HARMONY AND PROTECTION OF INDIAN CONSTITUTION
Dear Friends,
A number of people's organizations
including NAPM, WAMA, Fasiwad Virodhi Jan Abhiyan, IPTA,
Sampradayikta Virodhi Abhiyan, have decided to come together out on
the streets to protest against the temple construction programme of
Vishwa Hindu Parishad. We deplore the adamant attitude of Vishwa
Hindu Parishad to carry out their Bhumi Pooja on government land and
their insistence that government hand over the land to them. VHP and
Sangha Parivar have outraged all modesty and violated norms of
working in a democratic set up and are forcing their opinion on the
silent majority of this country. Their utter disregard for the
judiciary is making a mockery of the entire system of governance that
this country has been following for over 50 years. They are out to
tarnish not only our democratic set up but also taking apart our
social fabric by inciting communal feelings and fueling violence. The
damage being done by VHP is irrepairable and cannot be pardoned.
Various people's organization will stage a dharna in front of the
Vidhan Sabha in Lucknow on 14th and 15th March, 2002 and a group will
start marching from Lucknow to Ayodhya. The march will begin on 14th
March, 2002 morning from Vidhan Sabha in Lucknow. Former Prime
Minister, V.P. Singh, senior Gandhian leader Nirmala Deshpande, Dalit
leader Udit Raj, Medha Patkar, Kuldip Nayyar, Surendra Mohan and
others will also join this march. The march will reach Barabanki via
Dewa on 14th and will proceed further the next day.
We appeal to common people to see through the politics of hate of VHP
and Sangha Parivar which are repeatedly abusing religion for their
political purposes and sacrificing so many people for their ulterior
motives. The VHP and Sangha Parivar are posing a serious threat to
our culture and social fabric. It is now upto the common people to
come forward to protect the human values which form the foundation
for the society that they live in.
