The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Thursday posited that the Congress’s decision to skip the consecration of the Ram temple at Ayodhya had given an added impetus to the broad alliance of anti-Sangh Parivar forces under the aegis of the INDIA bloc.
CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan struck a positive note after assailing the Congress for remaining ambivalent for long about attending the “Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sponsored” religious function.
He said the INDIA bloc was the primary bulwark against the rise of Hindu majoritarian nationalism at the national level and the Congress had done well to hew to its core secular values.
