Bengaluru: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday warned the ruling NDA government against distorting the Constitution and implementing the agenda of the RSS.
“The aim of the union government is to distort the Constitution, which was drafted by B.R. Ambedkar, and implement the RSS agenda. We should go by what Ambedkar had exhorted us to do – educate, organise and agitate,” he said at an international conference here.
Inaugurating an international conference on “Quest for Equity: Reclaiming Social Justice, Re-visiting Ambedkar”, Gandhi said truth and power were not the same.
“Truth and power are not the same thing. Truth is what stands up to power,” he told the gathering at the opening ceremony of the three-day conference organised by the state government.
Gandhi also decried casteism and untouchability that were still prevalant across the country. (IANS)
