Voices of Oppressed

Thousands of DOMA members pledged to save the Constitution by wearing Dr. Ambedkar’s mask.

New Delhi, November 30, 2025. Today thousands of people of Confederation of Dalit, OBC, Minorities and Aadivasi Organizations (DOMA Parisangh) gathered at Ambedkar Bhawan, Rani Jhansi Road, New Delhi, to take a pledge to save the Constitution of India in front of Dr. Ambedkar’s statue. This was a unique event, in which thousands of people took the pledge wearing Dr. Ambedkar’s mask. The rally was scheduled to be held at Ramlila Maidan, but following a complaint from a BJP leader, the NOC was denied. Being discipline and law abiding citizens of India, we changed the original program fom Ramlila ground to Ambedkar Bhawan, yet thousands of people still attended. Government excesses were evident today. Campaigning and mobilising the team members had been underway since July, and the cancellation was announced, yet some people still reached Ramlila Maidan and were mistreated by the police. Has democracy ended? People arrived peacefully at Ambedkar Bhawan to take the pledge, but even there heavy police deployments were imposed, preventing them from marching.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Udit Raj, National Chairman of DOMA, said that saving the Constitution and democracy is no longer within the power of political parties alone. All constitutional institutions have become weak, and a few individuals cannot protect them through struggle. A mass movement is the only option to save the Constitution. The religious freedom of minorities has been virtually taken away. The Muslim community faces discrimination at every step. When Christians pray, they are harassed by accusing them of conversion. In the current situation, the only option is to establish a strong social network with other marginalized communities, such as Dalits, backward classes, and tribal communities, which will also protect the Constitution and democracy.

DOMA is a social and cultural organization, yet why is the ruling party so scared and intimidated? They did not allow the pre-scheduled program to take place, and the police continued to create obstacles until the end. No matter how large a rally or conference is held in Delhi, its impact is limited. Therefore, today, DOMA members should return with Ambedkar’s message and build organizations at the village, block, district, and state levels to promote social justice and scientific thinking. Perhaps social organizations can do this better than political parties. The hypocrisy and fanaticism being promoted by the ruling party is eroding the importance of science and technology, and the country will become a slave again. In a society where the media and the government spread religious fanaticism, superstition, and hypocrisy for their own selfish interests, neither the lives of the people nor the economic situation can improve.

Thousands of people wearing Dr. Ambedkar’s masks today pledged to take the demands, for which DOMA is on the ground to the masses. Our main demands include saving the Constitution, increasing the reservation limit from 50%, preventing vote theft and conducting elections through ballot papers, caste census, stopping interference in the Waqf Board, stopping privatization and providing reservations therein, reservations in the higher judiciary, filling up of vacant posts, allotment of land, equal education, ending the contract system, religious freedom, reservation in government-funded projects, guaranteed minimum wages for farmers, preventing tribals from being deprived of water, forests, and land, and restoring the old pension scheme. The Modi government hates these demands, and a nationwide campaign and struggle will continue on these issues.
