Addressing the Lok
Sabha on November 27, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said 'India first' is the
only religion of his government and Constitution is the only holy book
while asserting his commitment to work for the welfare of people of all
sections and religions.
Here are his top 10 quotes from his speech in LS:
1. Ambedkar faced insults all his life, it colors a person's intentions. But no where in Constitution does any of that reflect.
2. If Constitution simply becomes a document to be followed by the Govt then democracy will suffer, that's why it needs to reach the roots.
3. Don't remember any PM saying from the Red Fort that this nation is what it is due to contribution of all Govts & PMs.
4. It is important to strengthen rights and it is as important to strengthen duties.
5. Dignity for Indians and unity for India...this is what our Constitution is about.
6. In a democracy, consensus is what gives the greatest strength.
7. When Lohia told Nehru that his policies weren't working, Nehru stood up & said "I cant deny those facts". That was his maturity.
8. BR Ambedkar's thoughts & teachings have been valid, true, & applicable to all generations, of any given time: PM in LS.
9. It must have been difficult to form a Constitution for a nation as diverse as India.
10. The spirit of this (Constitution)debate is not "you" or "I", it is "We".
