INDIAN MINORITY FRONT

National Level ‘Political Party’ for Minorities

With the objective of protecting, ensuring and fighting for the fundamental rights of the minorities in India , a new national level political party was formed here yesterday. The organized attacks on minorities in different parts of India , the silence from the part of major secular political parties and the failure of central and state governments in taking action against the culprits have led to the formation of a party for minorities, said sources.The new political party will function with the name “Indian Minority Front” until it gets recognition from the Election Commission.

The party formation meeting held in YMCA, New Delhi , condemned the recent attacks on Christians in Orissa and Karnataka and expressed its serious concern over the inability of the central and state governments in ensuring justice for the victims. The meeting decided to fight against the politically motivated attacks on minorities from the part of Bajringdal and Sanghparivar. With regard to the recent bomb blasts and terrorist activities in different parts of the country, the meeting observed that, it is unfortunate to blame the entire Muslim community for the inhuman activities of the anti social elements. It also condemned the election oriented policies of the central government in taking actions against the organizations behind the recent attacks on minorities in different parts of the country.

The meeting was attended by delegates from different sates and it elected Mr. Rajiv Joseph (Kerala) as the National President, Mr. Krupavaram Nelapudi (Andhra Pradesh) as National General Secretary and Mr. Alaric Anurag Lal as National Treasurer. It also decided to form committees in the state, district, panchayath and ward levels.
