CPI Welcomes Supreme Court Stay on Discriminatory orders along Kanwar Yatras Routes

Communist Party of India

Press Release

The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued the following statement today (on July 22, 2024):

CPI welcomes Supreme Court’s interim stay on the highly-discriminatory and anti-constitutional orders issued by many BJP-ruled states asking vendors along the routes of Kanwar Yatras to display the names of owners and employees.

Our Constitution envisaged a society with equality for all. The RSS’ ideology stands opposite to the vision of the Constitution by treating minorities as foreigners, Dalits at the bottom of the ‘Varna System’ and women as subjects of patriarchy. Many BJP governments are furthering this ideology instead of upholding the Constitution.

As the CPI had pointed out earlier, these orders were an attempt at segregating and excluding minorities and Dalits, in line with the RSS ideology. RSS-BJP must learn to abide by the Constitution and shed its communalism and Manuwad. Attempts at fueling divisions will be defeated by the people.
