A meeting of the central committee of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) held here on Friday decided to extend political support to the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the forthcoming Lok Sabha election.
The decision was ratified by PDP chairman Abdul Nasir Maudany, a release issued here by party State general secretary V.M. Aliyar said.
The challenge to democracy being raised by the BJP-led fascist regime was the most critical issue in this election. Preserving the Constitution, secularism, and diversity was more important than anything for the future of the country. The country’s economy was in tatters under the BJP rule. Public-sector enterprises were being signed off to corporates. Constitutional institutions were in the grip of fascism. Unemployment and price rise had worsened. The government itself was propagating communalism and hatred with scant regard for the survival issues of the people. Attempts were being made to divide the people by enforcing the Citizen (Amendment) Act. Projects were being envisaged to convert a secular nation into a theocracy, the statement said.
