After hitting a low following the repeal of the controversial three farm laws Prime Minister Narender Modi today set the political ball rolling in the opposition camps of Congress, Samajvadi Party and other regional parties, dubbing them as “the bastions of a single family that pose a bigger danger to the democracy and its principles as enshrined in the Constitution of India” ahead of the UP polls.
Prime Minister's tweets on the Constitution Day have gone viral on social media with the netizens commenting on them taking the political parties by storm.
Addressing a series of programmes in the Central Hall of the parliament and Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on Constitution Day, Prime Minister Narender Modi without naming the political parties trained his guns on the rival parties saying that “those parties which have lost their democratic character, how they can defend the democratic values enshrined in the Constitution of India”.
Prime Minister also joined the nation paying tributes to the civilians and personnel who martyred in the 26/11 terrorists attack in Mumbai and resolved to defend the sovereignty and integrity of the nation by waging a war against terror and separatism in the hotspots, where the the terrorists are running for cover.
Modi invoked the mantras of diversities, self-reliance and self-rule coined by the Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi and Dr B R Ambhedkar, one of main architect of Indian Constitution, to pin the opposition Congress, saying that the seeds of duty that Mahatma Gandhi had sown should have become ‘vatvriksha’ big trees by now. If the nation had focused on “duty” after independence then "rights of people" would have been protected automatically”, he said.
Modi said our Constitution is not only the collection of different streams but it is the modern avatar of India’s millennium old great tradition of democracy.
in a veiled reference to his Congress Predecessors, Modi cited the remarks made by Dr Rajinder Prasad, first President of India about Constitution of India, saying that even if Constitution had been drafted beautifully and is strong and well-documented and but if the rulers themselves are not country’s true dedicated servants then Constitution cannot do anything.
Modi also shared part of the speech among the netizens that Dr Ambedkar had delivered in the Constituent Assembly on November 4, 1948 in which he had moved a motion for adoption of the Draft Constitution as settled by the Drafting Committee.
On the other hand, with a vailed reference to Citizenship Amendment Act, AICC General secretary Rahul Gandhi on the other hand tweeted saying that the “justice and rights should be equal to all so that Constitution does not become a Kaagaz ka Tukra ( piece of paper) only”.
Netizens also tweeted video clip of Dr Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister from 2004-2014 in which Dr Singh was reading the Article 14 of the Constitution.
Netizens paying tributes to the martyrs of 26/11 in Mumbai, bombarded the social media platforms calling for waging a war against terror and terrorists and keeping the sanctity of the Constitution supreme and pinned the top leaders pointing out their flaws and shortcomings in their deeds and declaration.
