UTTAR PRADESH
AIDWA Holds Peace
March
THE recent riots in
Muzaffarpur are a
cause for great concern. Deliberate polarisation is being
attempted to divide
the people on communal lines. The AIDWA condemns the violence
and demands
immediate intervention to restore peace. The Uttar Pradesh unit
of the AIDWA held
a peace march on September 10, 2013 along with all the sections
in the society
Litterateurs, academicians, theater
personalities and various
other justice lovers under the banner of the All India
Democratic Women’s
Association (AIDWA) took out a peace march from Hindi
Sansthan to the GPO.
The members also gave a memorandum to the chief minister,
Akhilesh Yadav and
demanded ex-gratia to the deceased’s family and also those who
are seriously
injured in communal clashes.
The
members
said the increasing incidents of communal violence shows that
the state
government has completely failed in maintaining law and order in
the state. It
was strongly felt that this communal violence broke out
with an eye on the
forthcoming elections. An appeal was made to all the communities
to maintain
peace and harmony.
