Rohtak (Haryana) : The CPI(M) on Sunday accused BJP and RSS of mixing communalism with Hindu Dharm for “petty political gains”, saying it is dangerous for the society.

CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury also alleged that the Modi government has failed on the economic front leading to drop in agricultural and industrial production.  “BJP and RSS are today mixing communalism with the Hindu Dharm for petty political gains which is dangerous for the society,” he said while delivering a lecture here on the occasion of birth centenary of late CPI(M) chief Harkishan Singh Surjeet.

He said the freedom movement had defeated the hardcore ideology of communalism and RSS and that is why Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead by fanatic Nathu Ram Godse. PTI
