AGARTALA: On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the Tripura Pradesh Mahila Congress (TPMC) organized a spirited program at the Congress Bhavan today. The event served as both a celebration of womanhood and a fierce political demonstration against the current socio-political climate under the BJP-led governments at both the Centre and the State.
The gathering saw a massive turnout of women activists and leaders who raised their voices for women’s security, the protection of women’s rights, and the preservation of India’s secular Constitution.
A Call for Political Change
The central theme of the program was a unified call for a change in governance. Speaking at the event, senior Mahila Congress leaders alleged that under the current regime, the fundamental rights of women and the secular fabric of the nation are under constant threat.
”The safety of women has reached an all-time low. From the streets of Delhi to the villages of Tripura, women are living in fear. This Women’s Day, our resolution is clear: to save the Constitution and ensure our safety, we must unite to change this government,” a prominent Mahila Congress leader stated during the rally.
Key Agendas of the Program
The speakers highlighted several critical issues that the party intends to take to the grassroots level:
- Women’s Security: Citing rising crime rates against women, the party demanded stricter law enforcement and faster judicial processes.
- Protection of Rights: Concerns were raised regarding the economic empowerment of women and the need for better representation in decision-making bodies.
- Secularism & The Constitution: The leadership emphasized that the “Secular Constitution” is the biggest shield for women’s progress, which they claimed is being systematically weakened by the ruling BJP.
- Economic Relief: High prices of essential commodities and LPG cylinders were also highlighted as major burdens on the women of Tripura.
Solidarity and Resolve
The Congress Bhavan was draped in posters and banners advocating for “Nari Nyay” (Justice for Women). Following the discussion, a symbolic march was held near the party headquarters to signal the start of a statewide movement.
The program concluded with a pledge to mobilize women voters across all districts of Tripura to ensure a “pro-people and pro-women” administration in the upcoming electoral cycles.
