The former legislators appealed the people to stand together for protection of the constitutional guarantees and appealed all political parties and members of civil society to unite for this common cause. The leaders said they want to assure the people that they will not allow any design to dilute the sanctity of the state constitution and the aspirations of the people.(KNO)
