Home Minister Amit Shah.
Now only a few days are left for the winter session of Parliament to end. Most of the winter session has been lost in uproar. However, meanwhile, a discussion was organized in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the completion of 75 years of the Constitution. After this, on Tuesday, Modi government also presented a bill regarding One Nation One Election in the Lok Sabha. This bill will be sent to JPC. On the other hand, the country’s Home Minister Amit Shah is also addressing the Rajya Sabha.
Amit Shah said that this discussion on the Constitution will make one realize how much the country has progressed because of our Constitution. This will also show what kind of accidents happen when someone tries to move forward by distorting the Constitution for his own benefit, ignoring the spirit of the Constitution. Amit Shah said that it will be known which party has respected the Constitution after coming to power.
Amit Shah said that when India became independent, people all over the world thought that this country would disintegrate and would not be able to become economically self-reliant. If we look at India today after 75 years, I thank Sardar Patel that due to his tireless work the country is standing strong in front of the world. Many countries along with India got independence but many times democracy did not succeed there but our democracy has reached deep into the underworld. The people of the country and the beauty of the Constitution have responded to those who used to say that India will not be able to become economically self-reliant. Today India has become the 5th largest economy in the world and we are even ahead of Britain.
Amit Shah said that it should not be understood that the Constitution of India is a copy of the constitutions of the world. Yes we have practiced every constitution. It is said in Rigveda that we should get good thoughts from every corner. We have taken goodness from everyone but did not leave our traditions. If the reading glasses are foreign then Indianness will not be visible in the Constitution. Whoever has printed the Constitution in words and left out the pictures has betrayed the spirit of the Constitution.
Amit Shah said that BR Ambedkar had said that no matter how good a Constitution is, it can become bad if the people who are responsible for running it are not good. At the same time, no matter how bad the Constitution is, it can become good if the role of the people running it is positive.
Amit Shah said that the Constituent Assembly had made a provision for constitutional amendment in Article 368. Now some leaders have come who call themselves youth at the age of 54. And they keep saying that they will change the Constitution. There is a provision to change the provisions of the Constitution in Article 368. BJP ruled for 16 years. The Constitution was changed 22 times in 16 years. Congress made 77 changes in its 55 years of rule. Now both BJP and Congress made changes. Changes have been made through the constitutional process and changes have also been made through distortion.
On June 18, 1951, the Constituent Assembly amended Article 19A which was brought in to curtail the freedom of expression. The PM at that time was Jawahar Lal Nehru. The 24th constitutional amendment was brought by PM Indira Gandhi. By amending the Constitution on 5 November 1971, Parliament was given the right to reduce the fundamental rights of the citizens. The date of 10 August 1975 will be mentioned in black letters in the history of the country’s constitution. The 39th constitutional amendment came. Allahabad High Court declared Indira Gandhi’s election invalid. After this, he banned judicial inquiry into the post of Prime Minister through amendment. 42nd constitutional amendment came. In this, the tenure of Lok Sabha and Assembly was increased from 5 years to 6 years so that the elections are not lost.
Now it is said that EVM has defeated. If you lose then blame EVMs. EVM is faulty in Maharashtra and took oath wearing new clothes in Jharkhand.
