Shimla: The CPI(M) has accused key ministers in the Himachal Pradesh government of fuelling communal tensions and aiding divisive forces in the state.

CPI(M) leader and former Zila Parishad member Bhupinder Singh stated that ministers Vikramaditya Singh and Anirudh Singh were stoking social disharmony through their public statements and actions, which targeted minorities and migrant labourers.

The party highlighted that communal forces had begun targeting street vendors, tailors, and artisans from other states, primarily those belonging to minority communities, under the pretext of illegal construction of a mosque in Shimla.

The issue, which initially revolved around the mosque, has now extended to vendors and workers, with demands for mandatory nameplates for street vendors, a move backed by Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh.

The party condemned this, comparing it to a divisive agenda similar to that of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

CPI(M) expressed concern that the ministers, despite their constitutional obligations, were engaging in acts that furthered a communal agenda rather than maintaining social harmony.

The party stated that such actions are unprecedented in the state and called on the government to address these issues in line with constitutional principles.

The CPI(M) also announced to organise a ‘Sadbhavna Yatra’ in Shimla on Friday to promote communal harmony, urging the Congress government to take strong steps to prevent communal forces from spreading their agenda across the state.
