Modi Celebrates 75 Years of Indian Constitution at Supreme Court says “nation first”

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Constitution Day at the Supreme Court, stating that the Indian Constitution is essential for both today and the future. He mentioned that for 75 years, the Constitution has guided the nation through various challenges. Even during tough times like the emergency period, the Constitution proved its strength.

He proudly noted that the principles of the Constitution are fully in action in Jammu and Kashmir, where Constitution Day was celebrated for the first time this year. The Constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly in the Central Hall of Parliament on November 26, 1949, and came into effect on January 26, 1950. This adoption day is known as Samvidhan Divas.

Modi recalled Dr. Rajendra Prasad’s words about India needing honest leaders who put the country first. He expressed his commitment to respecting the Constitution, emphasizing that he has never overstepped his boundaries as the Prime Minister.

He also remembered the tragic Mumbai terrorist attack that happened on this day in 2008, honoring the victims and promising a strong response to any terrorist threats to India.

Before the event, Modi posted a greeting on X (formerly Twitter) to mark the 75th anniversary. Meanwhile, both the ruling BJP and opposition parties have been criticizing each other over their commitment to constitutional values.
