The Constitution is in danger owing to the subversion of institutions such as the Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate and the judiciary, said Udit Raj, former Member of Parliament and the national chairman of the Confederation of SC/ST/OBC/minorities organisations, here on Sunday.
Addressing a large gathering at the Ramlila Maidan, Mr. Raj said the members of Dalit, Adivasi, OBC, minority communities, and those upholding secular principles had assembled and taken a pledge to save the Constitution and raised their voices for the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, caste census, the ban on electronic voting machines, reservation in the higher judiciary and private sector, and against privatisation.
Criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr. Raj said: “He is successful in taming the common people on various issues, but he should not forget that believers of the Constitution are far more in number than what he has.”
