In the backdrop of a string of assault cases against Dalits and the minorities, All India Milli Council (AIMC), an organisation of Muslims, today said it will hold a national convention in Delhi soon to highlight the alleged violation of the Constitution in such incidents.
"People from the weaker and minority section have been attacked in the past too, but in last few years, many such incidents have been occurring in parts of the country, with impunity and amount to violation of human rights enshrined in the Constitution," alleged Ratan Lal, a faculty in the Delhi University.
Besides, Lal, Commissioner of Income Tax and President of Bahujan Samyak Sangh Preeta Harit, and a few other members from different faiths, gathered under the banner of the AIMC here, to announce about the convention.
"The convention -- 'Save the Constitution and Build the Nation' -- will be held at the Talkatora Stadium on July 30.
"It will be attended by various religious leaders, social and welfare organisations and NGOs. All those who care for justice and humanity can join us," the Council said.
