Gwalior, The Indian National Congress has intensified its “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Constitution” campaign, launching a nationwide movement to defend India’s democracy, constitutional values, and social justice. The initiative seeks to establish the Constitution as a symbol of unity, diversity, and progress, ensuring equality, liberty, and justice for all citizens.
Significance of the campaign:
1- Defending Constitutional Values: The campaign strengthens core constitutional principles such as secularism, equality, and freedom. It aims to raise awareness about perceived threats to the autonomy of crucial institutions like the judiciary, election commission, and media.
2- Social and Economic Justice: By addressing the rights of SCs, STs, OBCs, and minorities, along with issues like caste-based census, reservations, and MSP, the campaign seeks to empower marginalized communities, ensuring they are aware of their constitutional entitlements.
3- Promoting Democracy and Unity: Through rallies, foot marches, and public meetings, the campaign will spread the message of the Constitution across villages, fostering social harmony and reinforcing democratic values.
4- Challenging Anti-Constitutional Policies: The Congress will use this movement to respond factually to the BJP’s perceived anti-Constitutional policies, particularly regarding reservations and constitutional amendments.
5- Historical Context: The slogan “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Constitution” echoes the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The campaign gains added significance with the 75th anniversary of the Constitution and the 100th anniversary of the Belgaum Congress session.
6- Public Awareness and Participation: The campaign will engage citizens, especially youth, through door-to-door efforts, rallies, and awareness programs, encouraging active participation in protecting constitutional rights and democratic processes.
Congress’s commitment:
The Congress Party is committed to raising awareness about the Constitution and protecting it from alleged attacks. This initiative is not only political but also a social movement, focused on preserving India’s unity, diversity, and progress.
Call to the public:
We urge all citizens of Madhya Pradesh, especially youth, farmers, workers, and all sections of society, to join this campaign and unite to protect democracy and the Constitution. Let’s collectively spread the message of “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Constitution” across every corner.
Upcoming programs in Madhya Pradesh:
