Prime Minister Narendra Modi replyies to the debate on the 75th anniversary of the Constitution in the Lok Sabha. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the Lok Sabha shortly as the House will sit on a non-working day to hold a special debate on the Constitution, which completed 75 years on November 26. Friday was the first of two days set aside by the Lok Sabha for the Constitution debate. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to reply to the debate on the 75th anniversary of the Constitution in the Lok Sabha on Saturday. The Lower House of Parliament initiated a two-day debate on the Constitution on December 13 to commemorate the beginning of the 75th year of its adoption.
Participating in a debate on 75 years of the adoption of the Constitution, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at the BJP, saying that by talking of protecting the Constitution, the ruling party is "ridiculing" Savarkar. Savarkar had said there is nothing Indian about the Constitution and called Manusmriti a scripture "most worshipable" for Hindus after the Vedas, according to Gandhi. India not only provides legal protection to minorities, it also has a provision for affirmative action to protect their interests, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said today addressing the Lok Sabha. Rijiju said successive governments worked for the welfare of minorities. "The Congress has also done that, I am not undermining its role." Rijiju was the first speaker on the second day of the debate in the Lok Sabha on 75 years of the Constitution's adoption.7:51 PM
