We have to save values of our Republic from votaries of Hindu Rashtra: Sitaram Yechury

Arguing that this was the need of the hour, Sitaram Yechury, General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) – CPI (M), said that his party was taking the initiative to organise an anti-communal convention of all secular political parties as well as non-political civil society movements.

The convention is likely to be held before the Monsoon Session of Parliament which normally commences in mid- July.

Yechury felt that it was only on the basis of such ideological opposition that the principled politics of building an alternative narrative can be developed. Such an alternative narrative, he felt, would come "only through peoples’ movements, from the actual problems and hardships they (the people) are facing."
