Our Constitution is not just a book, but the soul of India: Minister

While administering the oath on the Preamble of the Constitution, Haryana's Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship Minister Gaurav Gautam said our Constitution is our self-respect.

Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar has given us a Constitution that shows us the way forward in every situation. Our Constitution is not just a book, the soul of India resides in it. While addressing the ‘Hamara Samvidhaan, Hamara Swabhiman’ programme in Palwal on Saturday, he discussed the Constitution and the Preamble of the Constitution in detail. He said the Constitution decided how the country would run and on which path it would move.

Gaurav Gautam said other people of the world also come to us to study how such a big democratic country like India was moving on the path shown by the Constitution. The Constitution was the protector of democracy which was the foundation of the country and society. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had organised these programmes to spread the ideals of the Constitution among the youth in every corner of the country, so that they could get information about it, the minister added.

During the programme, the minister also rewarded the winners of school and block-level competitions organised on National Voters’ Day on the theme of ‘Hamara Samvidhaan, Hamara Swabhiman’.
