SDPI's 'Stop Politics of Terrorism' programs held in Bhatkal and Shiroor.

Bhatkal, 2nd Dec. 2013: As a part of the ongoing National campaign 'Stop Politics of Terrorism' of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), a seminar was held in Bhatkal on the 28th of November and a public program was held in Shiroor yesterday. The so-called fight against terrorism in the name of 'War Against Terrorism' is only a tool in the hands of officials and politicians with communal and fascist mindset to cover their loot, corruption and fascist agenda. Card of terrorism is used by the hindutva political parties as vote bank politics by creating fear in Hindus, and by the so called secular political parites by creating fear in the minorities and projecting themselves as their guardians. SDPI is the only political party which has raised its voice against the politics of terrorism. These were some of the points spoken by Ahmed Saquib, National Working Committee Member, SDPI, at the program, who was the main speaker of the function at Bhatkal. For Complete speech click here.

Anwar Sadaat, Karnataka State Working Committee Member, said that SDPI along with the Dalits, Christians and other minorities has an agenda to create a hunger free and terror free India.
