Rajnath leads govt charge on Day 1 of debate

Hindustan Times  

The Constitution is not the product of a “particular party”, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday, asserting that the document was neither a gift of colonial rule nor a compilation of good things borrowed from the constitutions of Western countries, but an expression of the country’s “civilisational values.” Defence ninister Rajnath Singh speaks in Lok Sabha on Friday. Describing the Constitution as “sovereign and omnipotent”, Singh said the document paved the way for nation-building, touching upon all aspects of social, economic, political and cultural life. He said the Narendra Modi government’s mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas” was in accordance with the spirit of dharma and justice enshrined in the Constitution. He said while the Congress always used the Constitution as a medium for political gains, giving preference to “satta” over “samvidhan”, the BJP’s commitment to the Constitution was very clear.
