The country is celebrating its 71st Constitution Day today. The main event was held in the Central Hall of Parliament on this occasion. Arriving at the event, Prime Minister Modi said that our constitution is a great tradition of thousands of years, an expression of unbroken law. That is why for us the dedication to the Constitution and when we as the people’s representative from this constitutional system to the Gram Panchayat to the Parliament whatever responsibilities we carry out, we have to be equipped with the spirit of the Constitution. Where the Constitution is being violated, it cannot be ignored.
Remembering the martyrs of the Mumbai attacks,
Modi said that today is the day to pay homage to dignitaries like Ambedkar and Rajendra Prasad. Today is the day to pay homage to this house. Today is also the day of 26/11. It was a tragic day when the enemies of the country came inside the country and committed such an act in Mumbai and carried out a terrorist incident. Many of our brave soldiers have sacrificed their lives in the fight against those terrorists under the responsibility of protecting the common man of the country as enshrined in the Constitution of India. The Prime Minister further said that I salute all those who sacrificed today.
Modi slams Congress without naming
Prime Minister Narendra Modi slams Congress without naming Congress Targeting the family, he called the Congress a “party for the family, party by the family.” Modi also said that the framers of the constitution put the interest of the country first.
The country’s 14 opposition parties have boycotted the program on Constitution Day. These include Shiv Sena, NCP, Samajwadi Party, RJD, IUML and DMK. Congress and Trinamool had already refused to join the program. The rest of the parties then announced on the appeal of the Congress that they would not join the program.
Due to the country’s interest in politics was overtaken by
Modi, “Sometimes we think what would have happened if we would have needed to build the structure. The fight for independence, despite the horrors of partition, is the biggest interest of the country, this was the mantra in everyone’s heart when the constitution was being drafted. A country full of diversity, many languages, creeds and kingdoms, in spite of all this, to take the country forward by tying the country together in the middle of the constitution.
In today’s context, perhaps we could have completed even one page of the constitution. Because the effect of politics on Nation First has been such that it has left the national interest behind.
The day to bow to dignitaries like Ambedkar and Rajendra Prasad
Modi said that today is the day to bow to dignitaries like Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasad. Today is the day to pay homage to this house. The Prime Minister said, “It would have been better if the country had become independent. The tradition of celebrating Constitution Day on November 26 should have started. Because of this our generations will know how the constitution was made, who made it, why it was made, where it leads, how it leads to this debate every year. We regard it as a social document and a living entity. In a country full of diversity, it would have acted as an opportunity as a power. Some people missed it. On the 125th birth anniversary of Ambedkar, we felt that there could be no greater opportunity than this to remember the sacred tribute paid by Ambedkar.
