PRAGOTI

If the Supreme Court also abdicates it responsibility of upholding the democratic Constitution , the Left and democratic forces should lead the struggle of the affected Muslim minorities demanding an immediate political decision on the Ayodhya issue. If the Supreme Court upholds the democratic constitution and nullifies the unjust HC verdict , then again the Left and democratic forces should join hands with the Muslim minorities to fight politically the fascist Hindutwa forces who would reject such a truly legal resolution of the dispute . Either way , the left led by the CPI(M) should be prepared to form a Historic Bloc of all democratic and secular forces against fascism.

Immediately , the Left and Democratic forces should see that the Supreme Courtcomes up with its verdict expeditiously not allowing the Sangh Parivar and extremist Islamic groups and parties to further foment trouble and divide the people. Any failure of the Left to take a principled fighting position on the issue will be as suicidal as the fond hope of the Indian ruling classes that the trickle down benefits of imperialist led globalization will will stop the fascists and religious extremists from advancing their respective agenda.
