New Delhi: Condemning the attack on Adivasi activist Soni Sori, Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee (CLMC), a Hyderabad-based civil rights group has criticized Central government and said it is an attempt to suppress the voice of voiceless.
Soni Sory was attacked with acid-like chemical on Saturday in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh.
“Present conditions in India reveal the human rights violations and attacks on human rights activists which are on its peak level. The attacks also reflect that the Modi’s government intolerant attitude is providing a tool to the state machinery and fascist hindutva forces to suppress the voice of voiceless people,” said Lateef Mohammed Khan, General Secretary, CLMC.
He also said, “CLMC feels that after the hindutva power coming on the rise, democracy is shrinking and all the constitutional, fundamental, democratic rights are at stake. The present hindutva regime wants to wipe out all democratic forces by using the hindutva gang in every part of India”.
“It should be observed that all the attacks happening in the country from the time Modi came into power are actually attacks on the democratic forces with an intention to make this country a ‘Hindu Rashtra’. In fact, now in India there is a collision between two ideologies, one democratic and another fascist,” he further said.
Soni Sori’s attack should be seen in the context of attack on Ambedkarites, Muslims, Christians and the revolutionary communists, he added.
“CLMC express its solidarity with Soni Sori and her movement and hope that she will come back and continue her fight for justice with all her strong will power and combat the mighty fascist forces of India,” he concluded.
