Kohima: The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) launched the ‘Samvidhan Bachao’ (save Constitution) movement in the state on Monday.
The NPCC organized a conclave at Congress Bhavan in Kohima to mark the occasion and to create public awareness on the need to protect the Constitution.
The event was attended by All India Congress Committee (AICC) Secretary-in-Charge for Nagaland Christopher Tilak and NPCC president and Lok Sabha MP S Supongmeren Jamir.
The key party leaders voiced deep concern over what they termed as “systematic erosion of constitutional values under the BJP-led central government.”
Tilak stated that the campaign’s goal is to educate citizens about the historical evolution of the Indian Constitution and to highlight the “growing threats it faces.”
“This Constitution was built on the vision of leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and B R Ambedkar, and the Congress party has protected it for decades. Today, it is under direct threat from the BJP and the RSS,” Tilak said.
He accused the BJP of undermining democratic institutions, especially in northeastern states like Manipur and Nagaland.
NPCC working president C Apok Jamir alleged that selective use of investigative agencies like Enforcement Directorate (ED), amounts to political victimisation.
“This is a direct infringement of individual rights and a serious threat to democracy,” he said.
NPCC President and Lok Sabha MP S Supongmeren Jamir criticized the BJP-led government, alleging it is trying to enforce a uniform national identity through initiatives such as ‘One Nation, One Language’, ‘One Nation, One Election’, and the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
