RSS-BJP RENEWED AGGRESSIVENESS - THE Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) met in New Delhi on April 18-19, 2017. It has issued the following statement on April 20, 2017 RSS-BJP RENEWED AGGRESSIVENESS Following the recent election victories, particularly in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the RSS-BJP have intensified their activities aimed at sharpening communal polarisation through various means. During the nearly three years since Narendra Modi became the prime minister, the RSS has rapidly spread its influence in various parts of the country. The victory and the subsequent assumption of office by chief minister Yogi Adithyanath have seen a new communal offensive being unleashed. The attacks on meat trade in Uttar Pradesh in the name of closing down illegal slaughter houses has adversely affected the livelihood of over 24 lakhs of people and badly hit the meat exports. Uttar Pradesh contributes most of the earnings of meat exports from India. The vigilante actions of the so-called gau rakshaks operating in the BJP ruled states continues to claim the lives of innocent Muslims and dalits. The latest in this line of attacks was the killing of Pehlu Khan in Behror, near Alwar in Rajasthan. Anti-Romeo squads UP have also been formed in Uttar Pradesh harassing innocent youth in the name of moral policing.
