Agartala: Jan 26: During the 76th Republic Day celebration at the state Congress office, Congress president Ashish Saha delivered a strong statement condemning the actions of the ruling BJP and RSS, claiming that they are attempting to deprive the people of their constitutional rights. The event, which was marked by respect and reverence, saw the presence of national Congress leaders who extended their greetings and paid homage to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for India’s independence and democracy.
Ashish Saha, addressing the media at the event, emphasized the significance of Republic Day as a reminder of the constitutional rights that the people of India gained on January 26, 1950. He highlighted that the Constitution guaranteed sovereignty, democracy, and republic, along with social, political, and economic rights, justice, equality, and secularism. Saha expressed his concerns that the BJP and RSS, in their current governance, are undermining these very rights.
He reiterated that the Indian National Congress stands firm in its commitment to protect the Constitution, viewing the current challenges as a direct threat to the democratic fabric of the nation. The Congress party, according to Saha, will continue its battle against the ruling party to safeguard the rights and values enshrined in the Constitution. His statements marked a resolute vow to oppose any attempts to diminish the fundamental rights of the citizens and to uphold the principles of justice, equality, and secularism that the Constitution promises.
The event concluded with a renewed pledge from the Congress party to fight for the protection of the Constitution and the rights of every Indian citizen, regardless of the political climate or ruling powers.
