Protest against the brutal murder of Narendra Dabholkar

Today at the SPWD hall, many ‘activists for secularism’ protested against the brutal murder of Narendra Dabholkar by the fascist forces. He was a relentless fighter against superstitions in the society. More than forty years, he struggled to develop an organization to put an end to superstitions and in the process established a network of thousands of activists across Maharashtra.Two minutes silence was observed in respect to the departed fighter.
The meeting was organized to discuss the draft manifesto for All India Secular Forum. Speaking on the occasion prof. Dileep Simeon said, “Anybody, who want to fight for their rights have to struggle today for defending the secular democratic elements of our social life, to the extent it is there. This is in the backdrop of the fascist forces in India trying their best to abolish even the constitutionally assured minimum democratic rights in the country.” The programme was presided by Deepak Dolakia, and was attended by Prof. Sanjay Kumar, Kiran Shaheen, Noor Zaheer, Sudha Vasan, Battini Rao, Viren Lobo, etc.
