Attacking the Congress on the 50th anniversary of Emergency, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday accused the party of crushing the Constitution and setting aside the values enshrined in it.
Addressing a gathering in Karnal to observe 'Samvidhan Hatya Divas', Saini said India's freedom fighters made supreme sacrifices for their motherland to gain Independence from the British. "They made supreme sacrifices so that our future generations remain secure. They faced such atrocities so that the coming generations could breathe fresh air in a free nation," Saini said.
Saini said, “Undermining the core values of the Constitution is in the DNA of the Congress, even though they pretend to be its protectors. Even today, they attempt to disrespect the Constitution by giving statements such as restoring Article 370 if they come to power.”
The Chief Minister said that Congress never respected the Constitution. Their "Yuvraj" (referring to Rahul Gandhi) once stood in Parliament, the temple of democracy and tore up a bill, insulting the Constitution. The generations of those who now talk of defending the Constitution never respected it. Due to Congress’s flawed policies, people suffered greatly, and today, the public has decisively rejected them, he said.
He said that under the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India has transformed and is moving ahead rapidly, and the country is now aligning with the dreams of the great freedom fighters. The Prime Minister has taken a pledge that by the time India celebrates 100 years of independence in 2047, it will be a developed nation. Achieving this vision will require the contribution of every citizen, said Saini.
Saini emphasized that democracy is not limited to winning elections or forming governments; it is a way of life and a value system. He said that today’s event is not just about reflecting on the past, it is an opportunity to prepare for the future. We must build a future where democracy thrives, the flame of freedom continues to burn, and India remains a strong and vibrant democracy on the global stage, he said.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister also visited the exhibition organized by the Department of Information, Public Relations, Language and Culture and planted a sapling in the Kalpana Chawla Medical College campus.
