You are either pro-Constitution or anti-Constitution, there is no in-between: Luqman Bantwal
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada Youth Congress President Luqman Bantwal on Wednesday said that people in this country can either be pro-Constitution or anti-Constitution, and there is no in-between.
Speaking at an event organized during the visit of Mohammed Haris Nalapad in Mangaluru, Luqman said the silence of the people from the majority community is not right for the society and that they should speak up when the minority communities are being oppressed.
"Our silence hurts this country more than the hate-mongering words of RSS and fascist forces," he said.
“When there is injustice happening to Muslims in this country, your silence is a curse to the society. We should break the silence and fight the fascist forces. There is no grey area in current politics, either you are pro-Constitution or you are anti-Constitution, there is no in-between” he said.
He further added that the country is under crisis and a virtual fight is being fought between those who believe in Gandhi and those who follow Godse.
“We are Gandhians. We are the followers of Dr. Baba Ambedkar. We believe in the Constitution of this country. Our party has a history of 130 years. We gave independence to this country. And today we are fighting the anti-Constitution ideology,” he said during his speech.
“Our forefathers (Congressmen) gave independence to this country by struggling for it and laying down their lives for it. Today, we all should pledge that we will not let anyone compromise with our freedom and Constitution, that was given by our forefathers,” he added.
“Indian Muslims are more patriots than any of the BJP or RSS members. BJP and RSS members did not make any sacrifice during the freedom struggle, it was Muslims, Dalit, and people from Backward Classes who worked tirelessly for India’s freedom struggle under the Congress supervision,” he added while speaking about the boycotts Muslims are being subjected to by right-wing organisations.
“As the President of District Youth Congress, I want all of you to pledge that we will not hesitate to lay down our life, sacrifice everything to save this country, to save this country’s Constitution.” He added.
