Akhilesh hits out at ruling party for trying to 'spread disharmony'
Hindustan Times Bengaluru|December 14, 2024
NEW DELHI: Efforts are on to reduce minorities, especially Muslims, to second-grade citizens, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Friday and called for a caste census during the landmark debate on 75 years of the Constitution in the Lok Sabha.

Yadav also said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government is fostering inequality and failing to uphold the constitutional rights of marginalized communities.

"This Constitution is our armour, our security. It provides us strength whenever needed. The Constitution is the true guardian of the rights of the oppressed, neglected, suppressed, and deprived. For people like us and the weak in the country, especially for PDA (Pichde or backward, Dalit and Alpsankhyak or minorities), saving the Constitution is a matter of life and death," he said, largely echoing what Congress lawmaker Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in her first speech in the Lower House.
