Defeat VHP’s Nefarious Plans: CPI(M)

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) issued the following statement on September 13, 2004.

HEAVY security arrangements made by the Maharashtra government prevented the Vishwa Hindu Parishad from carrying out their plan to destroy the tomb of Afzal Khan and the so-called “illegal structures” at Pratapgarh in Maharashtra. The aim of the VHP is to whip up communal passions in order to divide the people on communal lines. They hope that they can reap benefits in the coming assembly elections in a communally charged atmosphere. The democratic and secular forces in the country will certainly defeat the nefarious plans of the VHP and their friends to divide the people.
