Maha: Congress president Sapkal says constitutional rights under threat

Nagpur, Oct 5 (UNI) Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal on Monday alleged that constitutional rights were being undermined across the country, citing recent observations by Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan on the right to vote.
Speaking to reporters at Nagpur airport, Sapkal referred to Justice Bhuyan's remarks made at an event at NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad on Sunday. The judge had said that any exercise that deprives millions of citizens of their voting rights is inherently arbitrary and contrary to the constitutional framework, adding that the Constitution does not envisage separate categories of citizens based on voting rights.
Reacting to the comments, Sapkal said the concerns expressed by the Supreme Court judge reflected the prevailing reality.
