A rally against communalism and for national integration was organised by the NSS and CSC departments here at St Joseph’s College. The rally termed as “Black Day” marked the commemoration of the International Human Rights Day which is celebrated annually across the world on December 10.
Father Ambrose Pinto, Principal of SJC encouraged the students to denounce communalism and support secularism. “All those who create trouble are not citizens, they are anti-nationalists. Denounce anyone who creates violence and discriminates on grounds of caste, creed and religion,” said Father Ambrose Pinto.
Around 100 students joined the march from St Joseph’s campus to Town Hall. They raised the slogan ‘Root out the poison of communalism’
“The march is all about disapproving communal violence and promoting national integrity. In India, people are exploited in the name of communalism,” said Gladson, the vice-president of the NSS.
The march was followed by a candle light vigil to show SJC‘s support for secularism against communalism.
