The nation is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Constitution of India. The Lok Sabha held a two-day discussion on the Constitution. Prime Minister Modi on Saturday responded to discussions on the Constitution. While replying to the discussion on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Modi, as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, placed a copy of the Constitution on an elephant and took out a qibla on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution. Mentioning this expressed his respect for the Constitution.
Responding to the debate on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Modi said that the Constitution is about to complete its 75th anniversary. 25 years is important here too. 50 years is also important, and 75 years is also important. Look at history. What happened during this important stage of the constitutional journey?
The sin on the forehead of Congress will never be washed away!
Prime Minister Modi said that the Constitution will complete 25 years. That’s when the Constitution was torn to shreds. An emergency occurs. The constitutional system was abolished. The country has become a prison. Citizens’ rights were taken away. Press freedom is restricted. This sin will never be washed away from the brow of Congress. Democracy was stifled.
The sins on the forehead of Congress will never be washed away!
Whenever the world discusses “democracy,” this sin of Congress will be remembered…

He said, 50 years have passed, what has been forgotten? Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government. The country celebrates the 50th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution. Atal Bihari Vajpayee has sent a special message to the country. Strive to practice the spirit of the Constitution.
Gaurav Yatra wiped out by placing copy of constitution on elephant
He said that it was a time when the country was celebrating the 60th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution. This is also my luck. I also had the opportunity to become the Chief Minister because of the Constitution. I was the chief minister then. At the same time, the Constitution turned 60 years old. This is decided by the chief minister. The 60th anniversary of the Gujarat Constitution will be celebrated.
In 2010, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Constitution, we organized the Samvidhan Gaurav Yatra in Surendra Nagar, Gujarat. Replicas of the constitution were placed on elephants and the procession covered parts of the city. I was in that parade too. This is a unique tribute! pic.twitter.com/yAbU5UKQWn

He said this was the first time in history that this had happened. The text of the Constitution was placed on the elephant and the Gaurav Yatra of the Constitution was taken out. The state chief minister is adhering to the constitution and trying to explain its importance to the country. What is the importance of the Constitution to us?
He said that today is the 75th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution. I got my chance. When it is said that Constitution Day is celebrated on November 26, it is said that it is January 26. For me, it is a pleasure to be able to discuss constitutional diversity at this special session. Everyone has their own obsessions, and everyone expresses their own sadness. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction.
