Says Cong playing cheap politics, denies claim Left abandoned fight against fascism Far-right govts worldwide targeting minorities, Modi govt no different
AMID the ongoing debate over fascism, CPM politburo coordinator Prakash Karat said that the Narendra Modi government at the Centre has been displaying fascistic tendencies, and if unresisted, could evolve into full-fledged fascism.
Inaugurating the 24th state conference of the CPM in Kollam on Thursday, Karat dismissed Congress' claim that the Left has abandoned the fight against fascism.
Accusing the Congress of playing cheap politics, the CPM veteran asserted that the party does not need a certificate from Congress on how to combat the BJP and RSS.
"Congress leader V D Satheesan claims the Left has abandoned the fight against fascism. But what we are witnessing globally is a neo-fascism distinct from classical fascism. Far-right governments worldwide are targeting minorities and immigrants, and the Modi government is no different. It promotes a corporate-backed Hindutva agenda while attacking democratic rights. Congress has no right to lecture us on how to fight fascism," Karat said while inaugurating the delegate conference at C Kesavan Memorial Hall.
He also criticised the Union government for its "Hindutva corporatism" and authoritarianism, asserting that Kerala remains a strong bulwark against the Centre's policies.
