does our INDIAN constitution gives right to protect against the ruling government.?

Respected Sir,

Article 19 of the Indian Constitution is one of the most important articles constituting the ‘basic freedoms’ guaranteed to every citizen of India. Article 19(1) provides that all citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression, assembly, associations, movement, residence and practicing any trade, business, occupation or profession. Article 19 (1)(b) guarantees to all citizens of India rights “to assemble peaceably and without arms”. This right includes the right to hold meetings and to take out processions.

The right is however subject to the following restrictions. :-

1) The assembly must be peaceful and harmonious;

2) It must be unarmed and not threatening the safety of the people;

3) Reasonable restrictions can be imposed under clause 3 of article 19. I hope the Answer solves your query.

Regards,
