Aizawl, Jul 4 (PTI) The opposition Congress held a demonstration in Aizawl on Friday, alleging that the country’s Constitution was in danger with the BJP-led NDA in power at the Centre.

Scores of party workers demonstrated outside the Vanapa Hall and then marched to the Congress Bhavan at Treasury Square near the Mizoram Assembly building.

State Congress general secretary John Siamkunga accused the BJP-led government of violating constitutional norms.

“The BJP is observing the anniversary of the Emergency as ‘Samvidhan Hatya Diwas’. A programme was also held in Mizoram. However, the BJP itself is frequently violating the ideas and spirit of the country’s Constitution,” he claimed.

He said the foundational principles of the Constitution, like secularism and socialism, are under threat.

Hitting out at the state’s ruling Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM), Siamkunga claimed that it was gradually becoming close to the BJP and would become part of the NDA someday. PTI CORR SOM
