CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for accusing the opposition of creating a north-south divide in India. Yechury argued that the opposition is not trying to divide the country, but rather converting India s secular, democratic republic character into a fascistic, rabidly intolerant Hindutva rashtra. He argued that the Centre needs to understand India s geography and that the chief ministers of Delhi and Punjab joining a protest staged by Kerala government leaders show that there is no such division.
