Alappuzha, Sunday, November 16, 2008: Mounting a blistering attack on the Sangh Parivar, CPI (M) general secretary Prakash Karat on Saturday asked the Centre to take firm action against Hindu extremist outfits in view of their alleged involvement in subversive activities in parts of the country.

“We want the Central government to take firm action against organisations like Bajrang Dal just as firm action has been taken against some extremist Muslim outfits,” Karat said addressing a Fishery sector Workers rally in Alappuzha.

Referring to seizure of several country-made bombs in parts of Kannur district in Kerala, he alleged that these bombs were manufactured by men belonging to the RSS.

“These are the same people belonging to the same network operating in Maharashtra and other places in the country,” he said.

“We must recognize that the Hindutva and the RSS, which is an extreme manifestation, do not represent the Hindus though they claim to be representatives of the Hindus,” he said.

On G-20 summit in Washington, he said nothing was going to be solved by the meet as the very same persons are attending the meet who are responsible for the crisis.

“The very same persons who committed the crime by bringing the financial crisis are gathering in Washington. Nothing is going to be solved,” he said.

Karat also asked the Centre to adopt policies which would help increase production, create jobs and protect the existing jobs. He said the Government should give up the policy of subsidising the rich and burdening the poor.
