Time citizens take duties seriously: VP Naidu

Entitlements come with duties and responsibilities, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu said on Tuesday, noting that it is time citizens take their duties seriously.

Addressing a joint sitting of Parliament to mark the Constitution Day in Central Hall of Parliament House, he said while it is absolutely necessary to defend Fundamental Rights relating to life, liberty, equality and freedom of expression, "it is time that we, as citizens, take our duties towards the nation seriously."
He had said, Will Indians place the country above their creed or will they place the creed above country? I do not know.But this much is certain that if parties place creed above our country, our independence will be put in jeopardy a second time and probably be lost forever."
