Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister (CM) Pema Khandu on Wednesday emphasised the crucial importance of learning from past events and reaffirming a collective dedication to protecting the Constitution. Leading the 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas (Constitution Murder Day)' events in the border district of Tawang, Khandu urged the citizens to safeguard civil liberties and preserve the democratic values that fundamentally define the nation.

He further stated that the day serves as a potent reminder of the ongoing need to protect the Constitution and strengthen democratic principles, reported PTI.

"Let us draw lessons from the past and reaffirm our commitment to protect the Constitution, safeguard civil liberties, and preserve the democratic values that define our great nation," the CM posted on X. The day commemorates the anniversary of the imposition of the Emergency in 1975, an event widely regarded as one of the darkest chapters in India's democratic history.
