Participants from Lucknow as well as districts like Hardoi, Barabanki, Ballia, Moradabad, Ghazipur,Banaras, Kushinagar, Deoria, Sitapur, Kanpur and others attended in large numbers.
Speakers pointed out that on 27 September 2025, its Foundation Day and in its centenary year, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) — the world’s largest and oldest fascist organisation — is running a frenzied campaign across Uttar Pradesh and the country with the aim of establishing a Hindu Rashtra based on its majoritarian, sectarian and divisive agenda. The ideological foundation of the RSS is Manuvadi Hindutva, which is utterly destructive for the country and society.
It is clear as daylight that in such a cruel Manusmriti-based Hindu Rashtra, 85% of India’s working people — Dalits,
oppressed sections, Adivasis, women, and minorities especially muslims— will be denied human dignity. In this dark situation, conscious citizens of Uttar Pradesh must rise in defense of the Constitution, democracy, and its secular character. At the same time, we must advance the struggle to annihilate the caste system, religious hypocrisy and superstition, and to build a society based on gender equality and scientific temper.
The present circumstances demand that democratic, secular, 
progressive social forces and organisations of oppressed communities come together to frame a united strategy against Sanghi-Manuvadi fascist forces. It was with this objective that today, on 27 September, Social Justice Front, Uttar Pradesh, organized this Convention Against Sanghi-Manuvadi Fascism, Religious Ritualism, Hypocrisy and Superstition at Lucknow Press Club — to halt the poison of hatred and division being spread by communal fascist forces, and to build a statewide united resistance against them.Garima Bheem,Smt.

Usha Devi,Maya and other comrades contributed a lot to successfull completion of the convention.Advocate Ramashankar Bheem gave vote of thanks.
