Thiruvananthapuram: The Preamble of the Indian Constitution makes it very clear that there is no distinction among the citizens on the basis of religion, language or region, but the Sangh Parivar is trying to undermine these basic precepts since BJP came to power, said Dr M Manzoor Alam, chairman of the Institute of Objective Studies (IOS).
“It is not surprising as the people in power never took part in the country’s struggle for Independence. They want to restore the Varnashrama Dharma but in the process are working against Article 25 of the Constitution,” Dr Alam said while addressing a meeting on November 29 by the Muslim Association, a prominent educational and cultural NGO here.
“Rajnath Singh, the Union Home Minister, says that he and (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi come from the same organisation and both are closely associated with Zionists as both believe in racial discrimination,” he said. RSS has no faith in human brotherhood or equality; the country is slowly moving from democracy to tyranny, but we have the Constitution in our defence, he said. “It is our duty to protect the Preamble, articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution. Kerala was not an island and would not be able to escape the fatal political changes the Sangh Parivar wanted to introduce.”
“Muslims, unfortunately, are groping in the dark. They have neither a leader to lead them to safety nor a ladder to climb out of this predicament. But they are a community with inherent energy and dynamism drawn from the holy Quran and Hadith. It is their religious duty to fight slavery and exploitation,” Dr Alam concluded.
Adv A Sharafudeen, the secretary of the Association, welcomed the IOS chairman and other guests. Haji K M Salih, the president, chaired the function. E Abubacker, former secretary of All India Milli Council, Prof P Koya, member of the governing board of the Institute, M A Hameed, Dr O Abdul Rahman, Dr Ahamed Pillai and Ibrahim Moulavi also spoke at the event.
