CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury Friday바카라 웹사이트 said roughing up of women journalists and the stir led by groups wearing saffron head bands at Sabarimala indicated a pattern seen during the demoliton of Babri masjid and blamed the RSS for it.

The top Marxist party leader also demanded to know why the Centre was not applying the yardstick of equal treatment of women it used on the triple talaq issue to the Sabarimala row and blamed the BJP for whipping up communal passions for electoral gains.바카라 웹사이트

Women journalists forming part of television crew were roughed up and "it is exactly the pattern, which is also very바카라 웹사이트similar at the time of Babri masjid demolition...you have the heads of volunteers wearing saffron bands (leading protests),"바카라 웹사이트Yechury said.

Such scenarios unfolded during the Babri protests and a "similar thing is done here; it is an organised thing that바카라 웹사이트the RSS is doing and that will be fought," he said.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) would "lose the Sabarimala battle," Yechury said.
Asked if his party-led Left Democratic Front government in Kerala will oppose review pleas on Sabarimala issue before바카라 웹사이트the Supreme Court,he said it was for the government to answer.

In a historic judgment last month, the apex court had lifted the ban on entry of girls and women of menstrual age바카라 웹사이트into the hill temple.

Citing the Centre's advisory to Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to take precautionary measures in view of some Hindu바카라 웹사이트outfits planning protests, he said law and order was being maintained by the Kerala government.

"Those disturbing law and order will be dealt with they are being dealt with," Yechury told reporters here.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트On triple talaq, he said the Centre recently promulgated an ordinance making it illegal saying the practice was unequal바카라 웹사이트treatment of women, he said.

"The government did that saying equality of men and women is fundamental to our constitution and that it should be바카라 웹사이트protected."

"Therefore triple talaq is unequal treatment of women and they brought this ordinance. Same principle why they are바카라 웹사이트not applying for Sabarimala?" he asked.

His party had taken a stand against triple talaq for its "arbitary use and instant application so we said that바카라 웹사이트needs to be reformed."

The Centre still has the option of going in for a legislation or ordinance to circumvent the apex court바카라 웹사이트verdict on Sabarimala "if they are really interested," the way it did for the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, he said.

However, "the real point here is to whip up communal polarisation with the hope that it will get some political and바카라 웹사이트electoral benefit," he said.

Accusing BJP of playing a "worst form of vote bank politics," he said "they are seeking the consolidation of바카라 웹사이트Hindutva communal vote bank at the expense of destroying our social harmony, unity and integrity of our country and this is바카라 웹사이트very dangerous."

He accused the BJP and Congress in Kerala, of "duplicity" on Sabarimala issue adding the saffron party and바카라 웹사이트congress reversed its stand after initially welcoming the verdict.


Yechury said the state-wise electoral strategy (for the Lok Sabha 2019 election) would be worked out as per the recent
central committee meet resolve to defeat BJP and its allies, strengthen the CPI(M) and the Left in Parliament and work for
an alternate secular government at the Centre.


The Muslim Women -Protection of Rights on Marriage-Ordinance was promulgated last month and a Bill in this regard
was passed by Lok Sabha last year which is now pending in the Rajya Sabha.


Recently, the Parliament passed a Bill to overturn a apex court order covering arrests under the SC/ST Act and
to restore the original provisions.
