Ramaswami: With the national and global rise of the right-wing, we recognise that this is not a time for complacency. The signatories to this statement stand in solidarity with all sections of society in India and across the world who are struggling for justice and dignity in the face of repressive regimes. We reiterate our commitment to democracy, peace, justice and solidarity. This is the reason why we have joined our forces to oppose Trump’s visit to India and also Indian government’s subservience to the US imperial interests.
