Members of the Communist of India (Marxist) have condemned the communal violence that erupted in Aland town on Tuesday after BJP leaders and right wing organisations entered the Hazrat Ladle Mashaikh Dargah premises to perform puja for a Shivalinga there.
Staging a protest outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office here on Wednesday, CPI(M) district secretary Bheemashankar Madiyal and K. Neela said that the BJP leaders are out to destroy the social fabric of society instead of making efforts to ensure harmony.
The protesters said that Union Minister Bhagwant Khuba and BJP legislators who took the lead to perform purification of the Shivalinga on the dargah premises added fuel to fire instead of dousing it. The BJP leaders are deliberately trying to disturb peace and vitiate the atmosphere to further their political interests, Mr. Madiyal said.
