Eminent thinker Subhash Gatade’s
two books titled as the "Safforn Condition" and "Godse's
Children" being released in Bhopal. |
Bhopal: The Bharatiya Janata Party,
(BJP), ruled Government in Madhya Pradesh is trying to convert the
state into a Hindu State. Many steps taken by the State Government
amount to subversion of Indian Constitution.
The above was the gist of a number of speakers who concurred over
the issue. They were expressing their views during a workshop on
"Communal political agenda" held on the occasion of release of two
books authored by eminent thinker Subhash Gatade here.
The two
books were titled as the " Safforn Condition" and " Godse's
Children". The workshop was jointly organised by National Secular
Forum and People's Research Society.
The speakers expressed serious concern over State Government's
decision to allow Government employees' participation in the RSS
activities. They suspected that through the teachings of Geeta
State Government was trying to convert Government Schools into
Saraswati Shishu Mandirs'.
Subhash Gatade speaking at the release of his books said:
"Communalism poses a very grave threat to the integrity and
stability to our country". He stressed the need of united struggle
against communal forces which are bent upon to destroy the secular
fabric of Indian polity.
Talking about the content of the two books L. S. Herdenia,
National Convener of National Secular Forum, said the two books
throw light on the current socio political and cultural conditions
in the country.
Before the release of the two books Deepak Bhatt of the PRS
introduced Subhash Gatade. Bhatt said that Subhash Gatade besides
being author and thinker is also an activist dedicated to the
cause of Secularism.
The speakers who expressed their views in the workshop included

Minister and former Chairman of Madhya Pradesh Minorities
Commission; social activist Dr. S. M. Hassan, Trade Union leader
M. M. Sharma; eminent lawyer Sajid Siddiqui, Dr.
