Soaring up of the prices of essential commodities, reaching out education and health services of the common men, retrenchment of the workers in mills and factories, deprivation of the farmers even of the cost of production of their crops- all these including many more problems are being faced by us. Moreover cultural and moral degradation is alarming. The incidents of rape, gang-rape and sexual assaults with women are growing rapidly. The attacks on minorities, especially religious minorities are on increase. Conspiracy is being hatched in order to indulge the toiling people into the fratricidal squabbles and riots destroying the common culture, common tradition and the essence of secularism.
