14 Decembr 2024 Today Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is expected to reply to the debate on the 75th anniversary of India’s Constitution in the Lok Sabha. The Defence Minister Raj nath Singh initiated a two-day debate on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha with a prime focus on its historical significance and its role in building India’s governance and global standing. Minister Singh spoke on politicising the Constitution’s legacy and criticised the Congress party’s efforts to attribute the creation of India’s Constitution solely to a particular political party. During debate there was a fiery speech from Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. In her maiden speech in Lok Sabha, Vadra said that the BJP would’ve changed the Constitution had it not been for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. She said the Constitution is a protective shield of justice, unity and freedom of expression and accused the BJP-led Centre of trying to break in the past 10 years. She also spoke about the “growing monopoly” of the Adani Group, atrocities on women, incidents of violence in Sambhal and Manipur and the demand for a nationwide caste census.
