AIKS demands the President, Parliament and Supreme Court to take unambiguous stand against the religious leader addressing State Assembly

The AIKS strongly criticises the incident of a religious leader addressing the Haryana assembly since it is an injury on the secular constitution of India. The AIKS demands that the three constitutional bodies represented by the President of India, the Parliament and the Supreme Court should come forward with clear-cut judgment whether such gross mixing of religion with statutory political institutions could stand with the highest principles of secularism, modernity and parliamentary democracy as envisaged in the Constitution of India.

The religious leader has categorically stated that the relationship between the religion and politics is synonymous with Husband –wife relation. Politics should accept the discipline of religion is the key advice he has given to the law makers in Haryana Assembly. All the political parties have a responsibility to explain their stand on this fundamental point.

The AIKS consider the incident as part of the conscious agenda of the RSS to denigrate the time tested political system of modern parliamentary democracy with the regressive theocratic concept of Hindu Rashtra. The religious head was allowed to sit on a chair above that of the speaker of the house, the Governor, and the Chief Minister amply explains the diehard viewpoint of RSS on domination of religion over the state.

The RSS cannot achieve its aim of systematic annihilation of the institutions of modern parliamentary democracy in India. All sections of Indian society will unite to resist this most reactionary and regressive plan of imposing religion over political system.

AIKS calls up on the people belong to the peasantry and the working class to undertake consistent campaigns against the reactionary agenda of RSS challenging modern India to make it a Hindu Rashtra.
