Constitution is soul of India, says Nitin Nabin

BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Monday said the Constitution of India is the soul of the nation, which gave direction to the country to move forward as a strong, inclusive and democratic republic after Independence.

Greeting people on the occasion of the Republic Day, Nabin said by remaining steadfast to the supremacy of the Constitution, India has established its distinct identity on the global stage. Today, the country is emerging as a “responsible, confident and decisive nation” under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said. “The Constitution of India is the soul of the nation, which, after Independence, gave direction to the country to move forward as a strong, inclusive and democratic republic,” the Nabin said.

Republic Day is not only a ceremonial occasion but also an opportunity to remember those values on the strength of which India’s democratic system has been strengthened, he added.

It is also a “sacred occasion” to pay tribute to the immortal sacrifices of the freedom fighters, the foresight of the makers of the Constitution and the indomitable courage of the armed forces dedicated to the security of the nation.
