Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said India’s constitutional values, democratic institutions and social harmony have faced “serious challenges” over the past decade, while calling for equality and justice for economically weaker sections.
In his message on India’s 80th Independence Day, Kharge said the country has made significant progress over the last 79 years but many aspirations remain unfulfilled. He said the meaning of freedom goes beyond independence from British rule and includes equality, dignity, justice and the freedom to speak without fear.
