The Co-Ordination Committee against the Citizenship Amendment Act will observe Republic Day as Constitution Protection Day on Sunday to “underline the threat posed to the Constitution allegedly by the Centre”. Addressing the media on Friday, chairman of the committee and noted academician Hiren Gohain said, “We will observe Constitution Protection Day, besides celebrating Republic Day, on Sunday. Participants will read out the Preamble to the Constitution.”During the programme to be held at Ambari here, the participants, including veteran lawyers and intellectuals, will discuss the Constitution and its contents in details. “The gathering will also take an oath to protect the Constitution at any cost,” he added. It’s a travesty of justice.”Last year, Gohain was too charged with sedition for being vocal at an anti-CAA rally in the city.
