By: Arvind Jadhav
Mumbai: The Indian Constitution’s right to equality is under scrutiny, particularly Articles 30 and 30A, which grant special rights to certain communities while depriving others. Former Mumbai Deputy Mayor Babubhai Bhavanji has launched an online signature campaign to challenge this inequality.
The Issue with Articles 30 and 30A
Articles 30 and 30A grant special rights to certain communities, raising questions about equality and fairness. Critics argue that these provisions create unequal opportunities and treatment under the law. For instance, Article 30 allows minorities to establish educational institutions, while Article 30A provides protection to these institutions.
The Online Signature Campaign
Babubhai Bhavanji’s campaign aims to raise awareness and press for a nationwide reconsideration of these provisions. The initiative seeks to bring citizens together and demand equal rights for all. To participate, individuals can sign the petition and share the post on social media to increase visibility.
The Importance of Equality
Equality is fundamental to the Indian Constitution. However, some provisions have raised concerns about unequal treatment. The campaign’s success depends on broad public support and participation. By joining the campaign, citizens can raise their voices for equal rights and contribute to a more inclusive society.
