CPI - M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Saturday said the Narendra Modi government had created a climate of hate and hostility across the country during its over two - year rule at the Centre.
Referring to various incidents like the lynching of a Muslim in Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Budh Nagar on the beef issue and forcing actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui to pullout of a Ram Leela show, the Communist Party of India - Marxist leader said these incidents were not isolated.
"The incident (that happened) in Akhlaq's (Bishada) village, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, slitting of a Dalit's throat and throwing of cow urine at a dandiya event are not isolated ones.
"These are the outcome of a climate of hate and hostility created in the last few years by a government run by an ideology that fans divisiveness, " Yechury said on social networking sites Twitter and Facebook.
"While each incident must be handled by the law and order machinery, this politics/ideology of hate and hostility has to be defeated by all Indians, " he added.
