People's Front calls for Narendra Modi's removal

Stepping up pressure for the dismissal of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the wake of the violence in the state, People's Front on Tuesday called for dharnas and protest rallies across the country on April 17.

".... if there has to be any restoration of normalcy and credibility to the state administration, it is imperative that Narendra Modi be removed from the chief ministership. Nothing less will assure the people of India that the rule of law will prevail in Gujarat," the Front said in a press release in New Delhi.

The Front said that the Constitution had been trampled upon and "the state administration is totally biased against citizens who belong to the minority community".

Accusing the Centre of doing nothing to check the "brazen violation" of the Constitution, it said that the Bharatiya Janata Party had defended the "indefensible role" of the chief minister".

It said a mass demonstration would be held in New Delhi on April 17 to demand Modi's removal while in the states and major centres, protest rallies and processions would be taken out.
