NEW DELHI: Congress will dwell on constitutional challenges and the way forward at a national conclave on Saturday. The event gains significance as it comes amid the party's refrain that the Constitution is under attack from BJP.
The AICC department of law, human rights and RTI chairman Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Friday said the full-day legal conclave was being organised under the overarching theme: "Constitutional Challenges: Perspectives and Pathways."
The conclave will be addressed by, among others, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi . Besides, party general secretaries K C Venugopal, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jairam Ramesh and Mukul Wasnik; treasurer Ajay Maken; chief ministers of Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh; former CMs and other senior Congress netas will be among the 41 distinguished speakers. The conclave will also be addressed by former judges, legal academics and human rights activists.
The event was taking place at a "pivotal moment in our Republic's journey - a time that calls for renewed commitment to the foundational values of our democracy", Singhvi said. "As custodians of the Constitution of India, we are presented with an opportunity to come together - as legal professionals, public thinkers and citizens - to reaffirm our collective faith in the constitutional order, uphold the rule of law, and strengthen the integrity of our institutions," he said.
