TPCC chief urges safeguarding Constitution with Quit India spirit
In India, there was a special meeting in Hyderabad to remember an important part of history called the Quit India Movement.
A long time ago, in 1942, Mahatma Gandhi told the British rulers that India wanted to be free.
He told people to fight for freedom no matter what, using the words 'Do or Die.'
Many brave people got hurt, were sent to jail, or lost their lives so that India could become free.
At the meeting, a leader named B Mahesh Kumar Goud reminded everyone about those brave people.
He said that today, people must protect India's Constitution, which is the set of rules for the country.
He also talked about making sure everyone has the right to vote, speak freely, and follow their own religion.
He asked party workers to listen to people's problems and help them get their rights.
He wants young people to learn about the freedom fighters and the values of the country.
Goud said protecting democracy is the best way to honor all those heroes.
TPCC President B Mahesh Kumar Goud urged Congress cadres to work with renewed dedication to safeguard the Constitution, democracy, secularism and social justice, inspired by the Quit India Movement.
He was the chief guest at a Quit India Movement Day programme held at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad, organised under the leadership of Seva Dal President Middela Jitender.
Goud recalled Mahatma Gandhi's 'Do or Die' call of August 8, 1942, and the sacrifices of freedom fighters who faced imprisonment, lathi charges and death.
He said the contributions of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad should never be forgotten.
Ministers Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Konda Surekha and Ponnam Prabhakar, along with several party leaders, participated in the programme.
