Paying tribute to the framers of the Indian Constitution, Mr. Adityanath added it is due to their efforts that India got a progressive and inclusive Constitution. “After a long struggle, the country gained independence on August 15, 1947. Under the leadership of the first President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, a Constituent Assembly was formed. The responsibility of weaving every article of the Constitution like a garland was entrusted to Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who presented the draft Constitution to the Assembly on November 26, 1949. Finally, on January 26, 1950, the nation succeeded in enforcing its own Constitution. As we celebrate 75 years of the enforcement of the Indian Constitution, I pay tribute to the great sons of Bharat Mata on this occasion. It was under the leadership of Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar that India gained an inclusive and progressive Constitution,” added Mr. Adityanath.
Stressing that the Constitution is the greatest guide to ensuring justice for every Indian, the U.P. CM said, “Constitution inspires the vision of a united India where justice is delivered without discrimination, and every individual contributes to the nation’s prosperity,”.
He went on to add that the vision of a developed India can only be realized by adhering to the principles of the Indian Constitution.
