We need to have another mass movement to set the society right, said Swami Agnivesh here.
He said that the trading of alcohol and drugs is flourishing every nook and corner in the State often acting a trigger for communal and political violence. The farmers and labourers are still languishing in poverty. The dreams that Mahtma Gandhi had seen before undertaking Satyagraha for a complete independence is still far from realities due to the persisting evils of inequalities and injustices. Therefore, there is a need of another movement to realize the dreams, Agnivesh said.
He was addressing people on the occasion of observation of annual day of ‘Maa Ghara’, Baleswar chapter and celebration of centenary of the Champaran Satyagraha here on Saturday. “Everyone is equal, irrespective of caste, colour , creed or religion. The political parties and their leaders are dividing the society and creating a rift in society and trying to take the advantages of the divide. There is spurt of atrocities against women along with increase of business in alcohol and drugs,” Agnivesh said.
