Suchetgarh, April 14:
JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra raised serious concern over what he described as continuous attempts by the Modi government to erode the Constitution and its core values. Addressing a party gathering in Suchetgarh on the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Karra called upon the people to stand united in defense of the constitutional framework that forms the bedrock of Indian democracy.

The event was organized by Congress candidate Bhushan Dogra and attended by a host of senior leaders, including AICC General Secretary & CLP Leader G.A. Mir, Working Presidents Tara Chand and Raman Bhalla, AICC Secretary Neeraj Kundan, Former MP T.S. Bajwa, Balwan Singh, Ved Mahajan, Dr. Manohar Lal Sharma, Yashpal Kundal, Th. Hari Singh Chib, S.S. Channi, M.K. Bhardwaj, and others.

He stressed the urgency for citizens to mobilize and safeguard democratic institutions from being hollowed out.Modi govt weakeing constitution everyday - Karra Time to safeguard constitution -Mir Tara ,Bhalla call for stengthening constitution

“We are witnessing a systematic attack on the values enshrined by Dr. Ambedkar—values that uphold justice, liberty, and equality for all. This calls for immediate and collective resistance,” Karra emphasized.

G.A. Mir, in his address, highlighted the importance of public participation in defending democracy. He reminded the gathering that the Constitution is not just a document but a living promise to ensure the rights of every citizen. He said,

“The legacy of Babasaheb Ambedkar must be protected not just through speeches, but through sustained action and vigilance.”

Tara Chand paid rich tributes to Dr. Ambedkar, calling him the Godfather of Dalits and the oppressed. He highlighted Ambedkar’s struggle for dignity, justice, and equal rights in the face of immense social discrimination.

Raman Bhalla echoed the sentiments and lauded Ambedkar’s unparalleled contribution to the Indian Republic, stating that his life’s work continues to inspire movements for equality and justice across generations.

Neeraj Kundan, speaking on the occasion, said that bringing the marginalized into the mainstream was Dr. Ambedkar’s greatest mission. He asserted that delivering the true benefits of democracy to the last person in line would be the most fitting tribute to the architect of the Constitution.

The event was marked by enthusiastic participation from local Congress leaders and supporters including Suresh Dogra, Amrit Bali, Sanjeev Sharma, Shameema Raina, Ziyda Khan, Jatin K. Raina, Ajay Lakhotra, Vijay Shastri, Ricky Dalotra, Bodh Raj Bhagat, Jasmeet Singh Raina, Varun Magotra, and many others.
