The Rajya Sabha today resumed its special discussion on the glorious journey of 75 years of the Constitution of India.

Participating in the discussion, Leader of the House and Union Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda said, India is not just the largest democracy, but the mother of democracy. He said, as per Indian ethos, democracy comprises freedom, acceptability, equality and inclusivity, allowing citizens to lead dignified life. Mr. Nadda said, Government is dedicated to this very vision. He said, the nation is indebted to constituent assembly members who shaped the Indian Constitution.

Mr. Nadda also alleged that in the past Congress party had bulldozed the constitution. The leader of the Upper House said Congress attacked independence of Judiciary and superseded several judges who gave dissent note against the nefarious design of the then government.

The Union Minister of Health alleged that Congress misused Article 356 ninety times to remove stable governments in the states. He said One Nation, One Election was in force in the country from 1952 to 1967 but the arrangement was disturbed by Congress.
