Andhra Pradesh State Minorities Finance Corporation Vice-Chairman and Director Mohammed Nasir on Monday alleged that the NDA government was trying to remove the word ‘’secularism’ from the Indian Constitution, which ensured protection to all sections of society.
Article 25 of the Constitution guaranteed freedom of religion but the government was ‘‘directly instigating attacks on minorities such as Muslims and Christians’‘ across the country right from Gujarat to Manipur, he alleged.
The Joint Action Committee of Muslims, Christians, Scheduled Castes and Tribes organised a public meeting here, seeking the support of all sections for the protection of the rights of minorities and secular governance.
