Writer Sarah Joseph Calls for Unified Opposition Against Fascism

Addressing cultural activists in Thrissur, writer and activist Sara Joseph emphasized the need to recognize the Congress’s historical contribution to India’s democratic growth. Joseph condemned both the BJP-led fascism at the national level and the alleged totalitarian ruling style of the Communist government in Kerala, urging unified opposition against these threats.

She advocated for collaboration between the Congress and the Left, highlighting the importance of combating the larger threat faced by the country instead of opposing each other. The meeting, attended by various writers and activists, echoed a pro-India stance and emphasized the need to resist both political fascism of the CPI(M) and communal fascism of the BJP. Joseph’s call for protecting the Constitution resonated with other speakers, who stressed the importance of the Congress in upholding democratic principles amidst current political challenges.
