Uproot those who are against the Constitution : CM Siddu
No one should tolerate defamation against the Constitution
Bengaluru, Feb. 24: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah quoted Abraham Lincoln – We are the rightful Masters of the Constitution. Not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow those who are against the Constitution.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Constitution and National Unity Conference organized by the Social Welfare Department at the Palace Grounds today.
There are two negative propaganda going on against the Constitution.That the Constitution is for the salvation of Dalits and is not in accordance with the socio-economic situation. It should be realized that people who are against it are giving it negative propaganda as the Constitution clearly states freedom, equality and fraternity. This propaganda has been going on since it came into effect on 26th January 1950.This should not be tolerated. If the Constitution is protected, we will all survive. Otherwise we will be in danger, he said.
Eradicating Social inequality is the responsibility of every Government
It is the responsibility of every government to eradicate inequality in the country. We are entering a society of contradictions. In a society with social and economic inequality, political democracy can succeed only when it rests on the foundations of social democracy. Ambedkar had said that those who suffer from inequality will destroy the edifice of democracy. Eradication of social inequality is the responsibility of every government. For the constitution to succeed, it is important to know in whose hands the power rests. The constitution will succeed if it is in the hands of those who are in favour of the constitution, equality and those who want to build a human society. If it is in the hands of those who are against the constitution, we have no survival. He said that the power should be in the hands of those who are in favour of the constitution to fulfill the wishes of the constitution.
As part of the Amrita Mahotsava celebration of the adoption of the Constitution, A constitution awareness Jatha has been organized in the state to make people understand the preamble, aspirations of the Constitution from 26 January 2024.
