Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked Constitution Day by calling the Indian Constitution a powerful and transformative document that has changed the lives of millions. He said the Constitution gives every citizen, including people from humble and economically weaker backgrounds like himself, the freedom and confidence to dream big and achieve their goals. Modi said his own journey, from modest beginnings to becoming the country’s Prime Minister, reflects the strength and fairness of India’s democratic system.
In his message to the nation, the Prime Minister said the Constitution is not just a legal document but a moral guide that encourages unity, equality, dignity, and justice. He reminded people that India has grown stronger over the years because its citizens have respected these principles. He said that as the country moves towards becoming a developed nation, it is important for everyone to actively participate in this journey.
Modi especially highlighted the importance of constitutional duties. He said that while rights are essential, duties are equally important for building a responsible society. He urged citizens to follow these duties in their daily lives, whether it is respecting laws, maintaining harmony, or contributing positively to the community. According to him, when people fulfil their duties, they help create a more stable, prosperous, and peaceful India.
The Prime Minister also paid tribute to the Constitution’s framers, especially Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the members of the Constituent Assembly, who laid the foundation for modern India. He mentioned the contributions of national leaders and freedom fighters like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi, and Birsa Munda, whose work continues to inspire the nation.
Modi concluded by urging citizens to stay united, uphold constitutional values, and work together to build a strong, confident, and developed India for future generations.
