The country’s Constitution is facing the threat of being destroyed and replaced with Manusmriti if communal forces come back to power, activist Shabnam Hashmi has said.
The situation will also lead to an erosion of women’s freedom. She was speaking at a event to promote the Kittur declaration aimed at mobilising women against fascism, held here on Saturday. The declaration was made at Kittur in Karnataka on February 21 to commemorate 200 years of Kittur Rani Chennamma’s revolt against the British empire.
