Arun Jaitley had called the writers’ protest as a manufactured paper rebellion
New Delhi: Artists called for a “challenge to the divisive forces through varied forms of appeal and protest, articulation and refusal”.
“The contemptuous comments about the religious minorities and Dalits made by those within the government confirm that there is little difference between RSS-BJP mainstream and supposed ‘fringe’ elements,” it said.
“Artists condemn and mourn the murders of M.M. Kalburgi, Narendra Dhabolkar and Govind Pansare, rationalists and free thinkers whose voices have been silenced by right-wing dogmatists but whose ‘presence’ must ignite our resistance to conditions of hate being generated around us.”
