Karnataka: The congress party in a statement on Thursday announced the launch of a massive nationwide public outreach campaign, the Samvidhan Bachao Rashtriya Padayatra, to be held between 26 January 2025 and 26 January 2026.
The statement issued by the party announced the Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan Abhiyan, which will commence with a rally in Belagavi on 27 December 2024 and conclude with a rally in Mhow on 26 January 2025, marking the 75th anniversary of the Indian Constitution.
After CWC met today in Belagavi, Karnataka, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s historic presidency of the Indian National Congress at its 39th Session in 1924. As the nation recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of the adoption of our Constitution, it is fitting that we pay this tribute to him. Mahatma Gandhi’s statement on 19 November 1939 was pivotal in the establishment of the Constituent Assembly seven years later.
Targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on BR Ambedkar, the Congress accused the Union Minister of undermining Ambedkar’s legacy in Parliament. The party reiterated its demand for Shah’s resignation.
“Unfortunately, as we approach the 75th year of our Republic, the Constitution faces its gravest threat. Jawaharlal Nehru had observed that ‘no one took greater care and trouble over Constitution-making than Dr. Ambedkar.’ The Union Home Minister’s comments are the latest in the RSS-BJP’s long-standing project to weaken the Constitution. The CWC demands an apology from him and his resignation,” the statement added.
“The CWC is profoundly distressed by the ongoing degradation of democracy. Institutions such as the judiciary, the Election Commission, and the media are being politicised through executive pressure. Parliament has been undermined, as evidenced by the obstruction of its proceedings by the treasury benches during the recent Winter Session. The Constitution’s federal structure faces renewed challenges, most recently from the One Nation, One Election bill,” the statement said.
The party also condemned the amendment to the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961, describing it as a blow to transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
