Press Release
7th March 2018
‘Ganatantrik Adhikar Suraksha Sangathan’, Odisha condemns
demolition of statue of Lenin in Tripura and vandalizing statue of Periyar in
Tamilnadu. Both Lenin and Periyar were not simple individuals rather both are
an ideology. The democratic country like India if wants to keep its values of
democracy alive then the ideology of Periyar and Lenin should be respected. But
a particular fundamentalist group wants that their ideology should only
prevail. That is why they are attacking other ideologies and its believers
which is condemnable. Periyara symbolizes against superstitions, caste
oppression and practices of manual scavenging.
Similarly, Lenin is not simply an ideology rather a way of emancipation
of working class. Those want to destroy Periyar and Lenin they are nothing like
religious bigots, superstitious, intolerant, anti-dalit and anti-working class.
In a democratic country like India, each ideology should have its importance
and it is role of its citizens to accept or reject the ideology as per their
choice.
So, the Sangathan demands that the government of Tripura and
Tamilnadu should take legal actions against them who have vandalized the
statutes. The citizens of respective states have kept faith on them and have
chosen them to form the government. They should keep those desires of the
people intact and should concentrate on taking pro-people measures for
upliftment of the common people.
