On Tuesday, the Federal Council also discussed the constitution. Many party and opposition leaders expressed their views. Finally, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also expressed his views on the Constitution. Shah attacked the opposition, especially the Congress, on issues ranging from Article 370 to reservation and EVM. Shah also revealed in the House how many constitutional amendments were done in the country during the Congress government and how many were done during the BJP government. Among other things, he attacked Congress over the state of emergency.
Shah further said that no one should think that our constitution is a copy of the constitutions of other countries and that we have borrowed good things from the constitutions of other countries without leaving our traditions. The Constitution consolidated the foundation of democracy, and power was transferred without a drop of blood. If you look at India through the prism of “India” you will never understand the country. We will not allow reservation on the basis of religion as long as there is even one BJP MP in Parliament.
Highlights of Amit Shah’s speech in Federal House –
Shah said many political parties had said at the time of independence that democracy would not succeed in the country. I want to thank Sardar Patel, due to his tireless efforts, this country has established democracy to the depths of hell.
The federal home minister said: “Those who once said we would not be able to achieve economic independence, Britain is standing behind us today on the economic front.” During the discussion, one of our members said that the level of discussion was so low that even pictures were being discussed.
If the reading glasses were foreign, then Indianness would never be seen in the Constitution and the Constitution would be incomplete without this picture. It is important to discuss how our political parties can advance the Constitution 75 years later.
The BJP has amended the constitution 22 times and the Congress has amended the constitution 77 times.
Baba Saheb Ambedkar once said that no matter how good a constitution is, it will become stale if the people responsible for running it do not run it well. Laws should also change over time. Society should also change over time.
Some politicians claim to be young at the age of 54 and say they want to amend the constitution. I want to tell them that the Constitution itself has provisions for amendment. The Bharatiya Janata Party has been in power for 16 years and has amended the constitution 22 times. Congress ruled for 55 years and passed 77 amendments.
Constitutional Amendment No. 1 was introduced during the Jawahar Lal Nehru government to restrict freedom of speech. The 24th Amendment to the Constitution was proposed during the era of Indira Gandhi. The 49th Amendment to the Constitution was proposed on August 10, 1975, which changed the fundamental rights of the people and the election of Indira Gandhi was declared illegal.
Today they are talking about EVM, EVM has defeated them. EVM was wrong in Maharashtra and in Jharkhand he immediately wore new clothes to take oath. Congress never looked after backward castes and Narendra Modi government amended the constitution to give them rights.
Everyone knows how Congress treated Arif Mohammad Khan.
The amendment gives the country the right to assess the backwardness of its 1.4 billion people. It was amended under the Nari Shakti Vandan Act to provide 33% reservation. Congress passed a law to end triple talaq, an injustice done to Muslim sisters through vote bank politics for years.
Triple Talaq is over and now no one is saying that it has happened forever. Arif Muhammad Khan has said that compensation should be provided to Shah Bano. He has since also lost his MP and ministerial posts. The first education policy that even the Communist Party could not oppose has arrived.
There is a strange scene in this election, no one has so far waved the Constitution like this. This malicious attempt was made by the Congress Party. The Constitution is not meant to be waved around. No one in the Lok Sabha seems to know that this awareness exists. When a journalist in Maharashtra got a copy of the constitution, nothing was written in it. Not even a preface. I have never seen such great deception in my life.
Shah recited a poem about emergencies
Niren Dey served as Attorney General for 11 years. No one needs to say yes, sir. When Narendra Modi asked to celebrate Constitution Day, a senior Congress leader said it was necessary as today is January 26. I don’t want to talk too much about Emergency, but Dushyant Kumar’s poem is dedicated to Indira Gandhi.
One doll has many puppet lives. I met him yesterday at the exhibition and I asked him his name and he said, I am the Constitution.
Our security force soldiers are ready to lay down their lives for an inch of our country. Kachathivu Island was suddenly ceded to Lanka in an agreement. The rulers did not play with the constitution in this way. I would like to ask those who praise the Constitution, when was 35A proposed, where was it proposed, and where was it discussed?
You see political parties as the property of private families, you see the constitution as personal property, and some leaders have reservations about the formula for winning elections. Booking is not a new idea. The Congress party is an anti-reservation party and there is a gap between its words and deeds.
Where is the Kaka Saheb Kalelkar Committee report?
Where is the report of Kaka Saheb Kalelkar Committee established in 1955 to provide reservation services to OBC? There is no record of this anywhere. If there is any report, it must be submitted to Parliament. Instead of taking it to Parliament, they kept it in the library. They keep OBC reservations in the library.
If Kaka Saheb had accepted the Karekha report, there would have been no need for the Mandal Commission report. Rajiv Gandhi was the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha when the Mandal Commission report was accepted. His was the longest speech against reservation.
The UCC did not come because the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru brought the Muslim Personal Law. I would like to ask the Congress party whether you support Muslim personal laws. They also introduced the Hindu Code Bill. There is not even any provision in Hindu tradition in this regard. The Hindu Code Bill was brought just so that Hindus would not feel sad.
Shah said – Why is Sharia not included in the criminal code?
If you support personal law then why not apply Sharia law in criminal law. The BJP government has introduced UCC in Uttarakhand. Digvijay Singh says who stops? Our approach is democratic work.
Why Ambedkarji had to resign from the country’s first cabinet as he said he disagreed with the government’s foreign policy and Article 370. Nehruji had said at the time that Ambedkar’s departure would not have much impact on the cabinet.
In two states of the country, reservations are based on religion, which is unconstitutional. They don’t want to give reservation to OBCs but want to give reservation to Muslims by raising the 50% limit. We will not allow reservation based on religion as long as we are there.
With the removal of 370, your appeasement shop has also been closed. It takes iron liver to remove 370. 370 and 35A were abolished in this house. It is said that in this very parliament, blood flowed like rivers. Leaving the blood river, I dare not move even a pebble.
Indira calls Savarkar a great man: Shah
I cannot repeat what senior members of Congress have said for Savarkar. Veer is placed in front of his name. Lies have been spread for years without any information. During the freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947, if anyone was jailed twice in his life, it was Veer Savarkar.
Let’s just openly discuss such a person. Can patriotism be linked to any ideology? Believe it or not, but Indiraji said when he died in 1966, Savarkar was a great man and his courage was synonymous with patriotism.
The son of a poor tea merchant entered politics, refused to accept the policy of appeasement, and became the Prime Minister of the country. Leave aside appeasement, corruption and nepotism and you will win elections. No committees need to be formed. I hear a lot of slogans about love shops. I tell them that love is not something that can be sold in a store.
