New Delhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday accused the BJP government of using every trick in its textbook to crush and curtail freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.

According to Kashmir Media Service, his remarks come on Constitution Day, which marks the day when India adopted the Constitution in 1949.

In a post on X, Kharge said, “As we observe and celebrate the 74th Constitution Day, we bow in utmost reverence to its makers — for they guaranteed the social, economic and political rights of every Indian”.

The Congress chief charged that the present regime is using every trick in its textbook to crush and curtail all freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.

The “systematic and strident attack” on the Constitution by the BJP-RSS is visible in the “rampant misuse” of every nut and bolt of the government machinery, he said.

“As a nation state, we could soon reach a tipping point where social justice and harmony shall become a casualty and the rights of the weaker sections would be gradually seized.

“It is time to stand up against this politics of division and hate,” Kharge said. “Every citizen should question the attack on our Constitution, its ethos and its values,” he also said.
