Communal fascism is the greatest enemy of Indian democracy as it aims at transforming India into a Hindu Rashtra and establish a Hindu state and is deadly opposed to the distinctive features of Indian national culture—pluralism, unity in diversity, equal rights for all Indian citizens, equal respect for all religions and the rule of law.
It is, therefore, lamentable that our national leaders including the President of India and Prime Minister had paid tributes—reserved for saints and national leaders—to Bal Thackeray, the Shiv Sena chief, who vigorously carried on a hate campaign against North Indians and South Indians and against Indian Muslims through his hate speeches.
