A rally to ‘Save the Constitution’ organised by the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee’s SC, ST and Backward Classes wings, Rajiv Gandhi Pachayat Raj Sangathan, Minorities wing, Farmers wing, Fishermen’s wing and unaffiliated Labour wing was flagged off from Sathyamurthi Bhavan on Sunday. It will cover 75 km over three days from Chennai to Sriperumbudur.
Madhya Pradesh’s former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh said the padayatra organised by the TNCC, after the Bharat Jodo Yatra that has crossed Tamil Nadu, will be replicated in all the States. “There will also be four conclaves held following this to spread the message of Rahul Gandhi, the idea of Bharat Jodo yatra and the idea of India. Unity in diversity is our strength and the Indian Constitution is the very idea of India,” he said.
Former Union Minister P. Chidambaram said everyone in the BJP should take an oath not to make any changes to the Constitution, but he felt they would not do so.
