Let there be another amendment in the Indian Constitution which should clearly empower the administrative machinery to arrest anyone who dares to challenge the fundamental right of an Indian to work anywhere in India.

THE SEVEN fundamental rights of the Indian Constitutions are:

   1. Right to equality
   2. Right to freedom
   3. Right against exploitation
   4. Right to freedom of religion
   5. Cultural and educational rights
   6. Right to constitutional remedies
   7. Right to information

Article 16 : Equality of opportunity in matters of public employment

(1) There shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to employment or appointment to any office under the State.

(2) No citizen shall, on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence or any of them, be ineligible for, or discriminated against in respect of, any employment or office under the State.

An Indian can seek a job anywhere in the boundaries of India.
Now enjoy the empty rhetoric from Congress:

In the wake of a spate of attacks on women from the northeast in Delhi, Home Minister P Chidambaram said people of the region have every right to live and work anywhere in the country and entitled to equal respect. Northeastern citizens are as much Indian as you and I. They can come to Delhi, live in Delhi, work in Delhi, study in Delhi and they are entitled to equal respects and equal rights".

He said there was no question of registration of the northeastern citizens living in the national capital. Every citizen of the country is free to travel to any part of India except in some inner-line areas of the border. There is no system of registration,"

In Osmanabad (Maharashtra) on March 17 accusing the opposition of seeking to divide people on the basis of caste, community and region, Congress president Sonia Gandhi asserted all Indians have a right to live and work anywhere in the country. The government would ensure that people are not deprived of their basic rights to live and work wherever they want.

Her comments were with reference to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray’s campaign against north Indians settled in Mumbai and elsewhere in Maharashtra.

Now the latest diatribe by the glittering star - Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan echoing Raj Thackeray, in Satna at the ‘Garib Utthan’ (Uplift of the Poor) rally on Thursday.

“He would not allow “Biharis” to usurp jobs in the area. Karkhana lagega Satna mein aur naukri karne aayenge Bihar se, ye hum honey nahin denge. (Factories will be set up in Satna, but people from Bihar will get jobs in them, I won’t allow this) .The chief minister said he had asked factories to employ local people. “They will have to train local youths and employ them,” he said.

Everyone in the country is now well conversant with the hypocrisy of the BJP. The CM’s speech was just the tip of that iceberg.

The statement provoked sharp responses from Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD president Lalu Prasad.

Now this poor man is backtracking:

“All I meant was that local people should be given priority over outsiders,” he clarified in Indore on Friday, adding that he had not meant any offence to Biharis.

Someone must tell these local satraps that ‘Enough is enough.’ You can’t insult an Indian in India like that. These minions are making a mockery of the Constitution of India. Let there be another amendment in the Indian Constitution which should clearly empower the administrative machinery to arrest anyone who dares to challenge the fundamental right of an Indian to work anywhere in India. There violator should be meted out with exemplary punishment so that this periodic nuisance should be exterminated forever.
