New Delhi: This Friday, the Lok Sabha will be holding a two-day discussion to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Constitution. Our esteemed Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address the debate on Saturday.
The Business List of the Lower House has listed “Discussion on the glorious journey of 75 years of the Constitution of India” as one of the main items on the agenda. To kick off the discussion, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will be initiating the debate on the Constitution.
Both the ruling party BJP and the opposition party Congress have issued a three-line whip, ensuring the presence of all their members in the House on December 13-14. This demonstrates the importance of this discussion for both parties.
The debate will commence immediately after the Question Hour, which is also listed on the agenda. According to the schedule, seven ministers will present papers on various issues related to their departments, and various committees will also present their reports.
In preparation for the debate, both parties held strategy meetings on Thursday. As reported, Prime Minister Modi chaired a meeting attended by Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP chief J.P. Nadda. Home Minister Shah also held a separate meeting with senior BJP ministers.
Meanwhile, the Congress party held their own meeting at their headquarters. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, and other senior leaders, including K.C. Venugopal and Jairam Ramesh, were all in attendance.
The ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, which began on November 25, is expected to conclude on December 20. So far, the session has been marked by various disruptions, including the controversy surrounding the Congress' alleged connection with Soros. The opposition has made the debate on the Constitution a key demand during this session.
The focus of the discussion is expected to be on the significance and evolution of the Constitution since its adoption on November 26, 1949. After the Indian Constituent Assembly formally adopted the Constitution, India was established as a sovereign, democratic republic on January 26, 1950.
In 2015, the Government of India declared November 26 as Constitution Day, and since then, the nation has celebrated the adoption of the Constitution on this day every year. This debate serves as a reminder of the fundamental principles and values that have shaped our nation for the past 75 years.
