Centre urged not to implement simultaneous polls, common code

Activists of CPI-ML Red Star have urged the Union government to stop the decision to implement One Nation One Election and Common Civil Code, saying that if the Union government succeeds in implementing this decision, it will bring harm to democracy in India.

The activists, who staged a protest near Dr Ambedkar Circle in Raichur on Tuesday, said that the BJP is facing a threat of defeat in the Assembly elections which will be held in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram. Therefore, it (BJP) has planned to conduct elections in these States simultaneously along with Parliamentary elections.

India is a country where people from different religion, caste, culture, language and diversity are living happily under a democratic system. But, the BJP is trying to harm the system by implementing anti-Constitutional decisions such as Common Civil Code. Therefore, the Union government should stop implementing One Nation One Election and Common Civil Code to protect the interests of the people at large, the activists said.

G. Amaresh, Aziz Jahagirdar, Adavirao, Syed Abbas Ali, Adiveppa and others were present.
