We stand with the Constitution.
We stand with the Republic.

We, the undersigned professionals of India's Information Technology sector, stand firmly and without reservation with the Constitution of India, with the constitutional institutions it created, and with the systems of governance that hold this nation together.

We make no apology for this position. Silence from those who believe in institutions is not neutrality. It is surrender. We choose to speak.

At a time when organised pressure is being used to discredit constitutional bodies and to hold the national capital hostage, we refuse to stay quiet.

Institutions Are the Infrastructure of a Nation

We build and run the systems that move India's money, data, and services. We know from daily experience that no system survives when its core components are attacked every time an outcome is disliked. The Election Commission of India, the judiciary, Parliament, and the agencies that enforce the law are not optional components of our democracy. They are its operating system.

A constitutional body does not lose its legitimacy because a group of people disagrees with it. Disagreement is resolved through law, through the courts, and through the ballot. It is not resolved by sieges, street pressure, or campaigns designed to make institutions unworkable.

Order Is a Constitutional Duty, Not a Crime

Article 19 guarantees the right to assemble peacefully. The same Article expressly allows reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order and the sovereignty and integrity of India. Rights and duties are written in the same document, and those who invoke one cannot ignore the other.

When authorities act to keep a city of over twenty million people functioning, to protect public property, and to prevent disruption of constitutional offices, they are doing exactly what the Constitution requires of them. Branding every act of maintaining order as "brutality" cheapens the word and insults the men and women in uniform who stand between order and chaos.

Due Process Belongs to Everyone, Including the Institutions

We believe in accountability. Any specific allegation of wrongdoing, by any official or by any protester, must be examined by the courts and decided on evidence. That is precisely the point. Verdicts belong in courtrooms, not in coordinated statements, hashtags, and media campaigns that declare guilt before a single fact has been tested.

Those who demand due process for themselves must extend it to the institutions they accuse.

Our Resolve

We therefore declare:

1. Unconditional faith in the Constitution. We affirm our complete confidence in the Constitution of India and in the independence and authority of its constitutional bodies, including the Election Commission of India.
2. Solidarity with those who uphold order. We stand with the police and security personnel who carry out their lawful duty to protect citizens, public order, and constitutional offices.
3. Rejection of pressure politics. We reject every attempt to intimidate, besiege, or delegitimise constitutional institutions through street pressure or organised disruption, whatever its source.
4. Grievances through lawful channels only. We call upon every citizen, political actor, and public figure to pursue disagreements through the courts and other constitutional remedies, which remain open, independent, and fully capable of delivering justice.
5. Accountability by evidence, not by campaign. We call for every disputed incident to be decided through due process, and for anyone found to have acted unlawfully, on any side, to be held accountable under the rule of law.
