CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury hit back at PM Modi for accusing the opposition of creating a north-south divide in India. Yechury argues that the opposition is not trying to divide the country, but rather convert India’s secular, democratic republic character into a fascistic, rabidly intolerant Hindutva rashtra. He emphasizes the importance of understanding India’s geography and highlights the unity shown by chief ministers from Delhi, Punjab, and Kerala. Yechury condemns the Centre’s attempt to centralize power and move towards a unitary state structure.
