Nation is worried about unchecked growth of communal hatred: Azad tells PM
"I would like to underline that the entire nation is worried about the unchecked growth of communal hatred and mistrust being brewed for the sake of electoral politics in the nation," Azad wrote in his letter.
"There is an urgent need to stem this rising tide, lest it is too late," he said.
He alleged that Ministers, MPs, MLAs and and leaders of the ruling BJP and affiliates of Sangh Parivaar have made provocative and offensive statements to 'divide and polarise the communities'.
He highlighted the recent incident in Latehar district of Jharkhand where two cattle traders were tortured and hanged to death and said it was performed by 'radical bigots'.
Azad said religious minorities have been targeted in the nation in recent times since the BJP-led government came to power at the Centre.
"You may recall that in recent past excuses were made to target the minority community in the name of one pretext or the other," Azad wrote in his letter.
