Congress leader and Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi will participate in the ‘Samvidhan Samman Sammelan’ to explore various aspects of the Indian Constitution, he announced on Friday. The event is scheduled for Saturday at the Allahabad Medical Association Convention Centre in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
Rahul Gandhi also criticized the BJP, asserting that any attempts by BJP leaders to undermine the Constitution will be met with strong resistance. In a Facebook post, he declared, “The Constitution of India guarantees justice, equality, and liberty to all our people. Any attempt by the BJP to undermine it will be met with the strongest resistance—from me, from every dedicated Congress karyakarta, and from every deshbhakt Indian. Join me tomorrow as we stand united to make this message resound loud and clear. Together, let us defend the values that define our nation.”
Meanwhile, following Congress’ decision to ally with the National Conference (NC) for the upcoming assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir, BJP leader Amit Shah accused the Congress of jeopardizing national unity and security for political gain. Shah criticized the Congress party on social media platform X, stating, “The Congress party, which has repeatedly risked the nation’s unity and security to satiate its greed for power, has once again exposed its ulterior motives by allying with the Abdullah family’s ‘National Conference’ in the Jammu and Kashmir elections.”
Shah further questioned whether the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi endorse the NC’s election promises, including the proposal for “a separate flag for Jammu and Kashmir” and “the restoration of Article 370 and 35A,” which he claimed would lead to renewed unrest and terrorism in the region.
