“Our strength is in the Constitution. Our social document is it. This Constitution has allowed us to recognize the underprivileged, impoverished, and backward members of society and has brought about social and economic transformations. People throughout the globe read the Indian Constitution today, comprehend its principles, and know how we exercised the freedom to vote at that time for all castes and classes without any discrimination. Therefore, we have the power to bring people together and collaborate because of the fundamental spirit of our Constitution. ANI was informed by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla that the Constitution should not be involved in politics because of this.

He said that the fundamental spirit (or framework) of the Constitution cannot be tempered by any political party or philosophy. According to Birla, the Constitution has undergone periodic revisions to accommodate the rights and ambitions of the people.

The speaker of the Lok Sabha was responding to the opposition’s claims that the administration will amend the Constitution. The speaker of the Lok Sabha said that the Constitution has been amended to accommodate societal change as well.

“The Constitution has undergone periodic revisions to reflect the rights and ambitions of the populace as well as to preserve openness. Additionally, adjustments have been made to promote social change. However, neither a government nor a political party has altered the fundamental principles of the Constitution. For this reason, the court has the authority to evaluate in order to maintain the fundamental framework. Therefore, in our nation, the fundamental spirit of the Constitution cannot be altered by a government of any political party,” Speaker Birla said.

“The Prime Minister has always said that the deprived, poor, and backward people of society still need a reservation and therefore, the government works in the basic philosophy of the Constitution so that there can be prosperity in their lives and there can be social change in their lives,” he said.

According to the speaker of the Lok Sabha, norms and tradition provide guidance and direction, emphasizing the need for upholding decorum.

“Traditions and rules provide direction and a vision. For this reason, Babasaheb had said at the time that it would rely on those who uphold the Constitution and those who carry it out. Whether it is the Constitution or Parliament, we should still behave ourselves with the utmost respect. We can improve the dignity of institutions more effectively if we hold ourselves to higher standards of behavior and thought. Birla said, “I think that a lot depends on the members’ behavior and conduct to maintain the dignity and high-level traditions of our House.”

Speaking before the Lok Sabha, the speaker noted that November 26 is Constitution Day, a day to honor Babasaheb Ambedkar’s commitment and sacrifice. President Droupadi Murmu will deliver the Constitution’s Preamble, Birla said.

“On November 26, we established our Constitution, and it is a day to honor Babasaheb Ambedkar’s sacrifice and the hard work of those who drafted it. India’s democracy has grown stronger over the course of its 75-year history, and it was brought to us by the fundamental principles of the Constitution. The president will read the Preamble of the Constitution as part of the celebration of Constitution Day on November 26. This will allow us to show our appreciation for the Constitution and ensure that the people understand its fundamental principles and authority. I’m hoping that this Constitution Day will become a widespread event when we all show our appreciation for the Constitution and its authors. “We will also realize our dream of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by upholding the fundamental obligations and responsibilities of the Constitution,” said Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
