New Delhi, Nov 26 (UNI) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday greeted the people on the occasion of 75th Constitution Day.
On social media handle X, Kharge said, “The Constitution of India, painstakingly and carefully drafted by our foremothers and forefathers, is the lifeblood of our nation. It guarantees us social, economic and political rights. It constitutes India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC”.
He said, “Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity are not just ideals or ideas, they are the way of life for us — 140 Crore Indians.”
“Today, we recall the tremendous contribution of the Constituent Assembly and its prolific members. We are forever indebted to their vision and wisdom,” Kharge said.
The Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha said, “The Objectives Resolution moved by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Babasaheb Dr Ambedkar’s momentous last speech to the Constituent Assembly form the Magna Carta in protecting the tenants of the Constitution.”
“No mention of the Constituent Assembly should be complete by recalling the contribution of the 15 women members who provided equally important inputs for an inclusive India. We must also not forget that the Constituent Assembly received uncountable suggestions from ordinary citizens which are a matter of record,” Kharge said.
Urging the people to protect the Constitution, Kharge said, “We, the people of India, should therefore come together to protect each and every thought expressed in the Constitution.”
“In the 75th year of adoption, the struggle to defend India’s inherent philosophy must be reinvigorated and reignited, just like the era of the National Movement,” he added.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi on X said, “The basic spirit of our Constitution is that Justice and rights should be equal for all. Everyone should get an opportunity to live with self respect.”
He said that the Constitution is a powerful tool to protect the poor and most vulnerable sections of society.
“The stronger it is, the strongest our country will be,” he said.
On the occasion, Gandhi also reiterated his resolve to protect the Constitution.
Moreover, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in a post on X, said, “Our Constitution is the protective shield for crores of Indians that gives them every kind of right.”
