‘Hegde’s remarks vindicate Cong stand’
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 12: JKPCC SC Deptt Chairman Karan Bhagat today attacked the BJP over Anant Kumar Hegde’s remarks about amending the Constitution, saying such a move would cause “upheaval” in the country and BJP should clarify the matter.
Addressing a press conference in Party officer here today, Bhagat accused the BJP of being against social justice and secularism as enshrined in the Constitution and said though many of its leaders and MPs have made such statements in the past, the Prime Minister has remained silent so far.
Bhagat said that BJP was against social justice and secularism enshrined in the Constitution.”This is not a good mindset, this will create upheaval in the country if you want to change the Constitution,” he said, hitting out at the BJP.
“If social justice is denied to the poor and the oppressed, they will not remain silent. If the BJP continues to speak with such mindset, the people are watching them, their remarks, views and sentiments and will decide accordingly in 2024 elections,” he said.
He said the BJP aims to get a massive mandate only for amending the Constitution according to their needs as their leaders are against social justice to the poor and oppressed classes, and secularism.
Bhagat further said that Narendra Modi’s silence on BJP MP’s statement of ‘changing the Constitution’ is dangerous. The electoral contest now is between two ideologies; constitutional or unconstitutional, social justice or exploitation, secularism or communalism, civil rights or helpless people, freedom of speech or fearful silence, love or hate, diversity or monopoly, just order or dictatorial injustice.”Changing the Constitution, India’s most precious heritage obtained from the struggle for independence, means pushing the country towards slavery. The decision on the future of the coming generations is now in your hands,” Bhagat said.
