Assam CM calls for defininig secularism in context of ‘Indian civilization’

“An intellectual terrorism has been unleashed and the Lefts in the country are more leftists than Karl Marx,” he said.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday asserted that the concept of secularism needs to be defined in the context of ‘Indian civilisation’. Attacking Leftist intellectuals, liberals and the media, Mr. Sarma said, at a function where RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat launched a book, the country’s intellectual society is still dominated by the left-liberals with the media giving them more space while ignoring alternate voices. “An intellectual terrorism has been unleashed and the Lefts in the country are more leftists than Karl Marx. There is no democracy in media....they have no space for Indian civilisation but there is space for Karl Marx and Lenin”, he claimed.
