Dammam: Babri Masjid is the symbol of religious freedom provided by democratic system of India. Fascist forces have attacked the constitution of India by destroying the Babri Masjid which was mulsim’s religious center and had a history of 467 years, said Fayaz N, General Secretary of Central Committee of Indian Social Forum, Eastern Province. He was speaking at a social program ‘Lest we forget December 6.....Lest we retain Hope.....’, organized by the state committee of Indian Social Forum, Eastern Province, on Tuesday 6th December at 8pm in Paragon Auditorium, Dammam.

In his speech he added that the inverse effects of that attack is still experienced by the minority community, dalits and other backward classes of India. We have to intensify the struggle to retain the hope of getting our constitutional rights by utilizing the opportunities provided by the constitution. Since the demolition of Babri Masjid, India is witnessing communal riots, fake encounters, dark law, murder in the name of cow slaughter, rape and now interference in muslim personal law-Shareeat system. We have to fight for the restoration of secularism in India by reconstructing the Babri Masjid, he added.
