Protesting against government is our constitutional right: Amarjeet Kaur in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: All India Trade Union Congress, National General Secretary, Amarjeet Kaur on Saturday asserted that protesting and opposing the wrong and unconstitutional strategies and programs of government in not wrong and instead is the right given by the constitution of the country to its citizens.
Kaur was speaking at an event in Mangaluru on Saturday when she said that protesting and opposing against the government for the wrongs it is doing is a constitutional right and duty of the citizens of this country.
Referring to the Central Government’s latest stand that the state governments cannot refuse to implement the Citizenship Amendment Bill in their states, Kaur added that the bill and the motto with which it is being introduced were unconstitutional.
Kaur recalled how the labourers and working classes have played their role in country’s freedom movement and how it has time and again raised their voices and stood against the injustice, exploitation and inequality. She also urged the labourers and working class to realize the threat NRC and CAB poses to the secular fabric and the ever-declining economy of the country.
“The RBI clearly states that the financial and economic condition of the country are deteriorating, but the ruling government is hell bent upon working on issues connected with the emotions of the people and is constantly trying to divide people of the country,” Kaur added.
Kaur also alleged that the central government was ruling the country much like how the British ruled India before independence by dividing people and conspiring to break the secularism in the nation. She added that the situation in the country demanded strong fight back from the people and that there was no need to panic or be afraid of the prevailing scenarios.

Hearing in defamation case against Rahul Gandhi postponed till March 27
Sultanpur (UP) (PTI): Hearing in the defamation case involving Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, which was scheduled to take place on Monday at the MP-MLA Court in Uttar Pradesh's Sultanpur district, could not take place due to the non-appearance of the plaintiff Vijay Mishra.
The court will now hear this matter on March 27.
Santosh Kumar Pandey, the advocate of the plaintiff, on Monday said that he had submitted a formal application to the court during the previous hearing.
This application requested that the audio and video recordings of the statements made by Rahul Gandhi, which have been presented as evidence, be matched with Rahul Gandhi's authentic voice.
Due to Vijay Mishra's absence, the court has scheduled the next hearing for March 27, when the arguments in the case will be presented.
On February 20, Gandhi, the MP from Raebareli, had appeared before the court and recorded his statement, claiming the case was filed against him due to political vendetta. He had also told the court that the audio and video evidence submitted by the complainant was incorrect and said he would present his own evidence.
The case stems from Gandhi's alleged objectionable remarks against then BJP president Amit Shah during the 2018 Karnataka election campaign.
Following the remarks, Mishra, a resident of Hanumanganj under Kotwali Dehat police station area in Sultanpur, filed the defamation complaint.
In December 2023, the court had issued a warrant against Gandhi after he failed to appear before it. He later surrendered before the court in February 2024 and was granted bail on two surety bonds of Rs 25,000 each.
