Reportedly President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President jagdeep Dhankhar, and prime minister Narendra Modi will attend a Constitution Day event on tuesday marking 75 years of the adoption of the indian Constitution by the Constituent assembly on november 26, 1949. The President and the Vice President will address the nation during the event that will take place at the Central Hall of the old parliament Building, now known as Samvidhan Sadan. However, the prime minister will not speak at the event.
A commemorative coin and a stamp will also be released during the event, besides copies of the Constitution in sanskrit and Maithili. Officials said “The preamble would be read by all Bharatiya across the globe with the President. mass preamble readings in panchayats, Amrit Sarovar sites in rural areas are likely to be held". Today’s Constitution Day event is likely to turn into another point of contention between the government and the Opposition as the floor leaders of the india bloc wrote to lok sabha Speaker om birla seeking an invitation to the leader of Opposition in lok sabha Rahul gandhi to address the special event.
The party said that the leader of Opposition is a Constitutional post and Rahul gandhi must be allowed to address the event. The party said “Rahul gandhi coined ‘Save Constitution’". Notably, President Murmu and Vice President Dhankhar are scheduled to address the nation on the occasion, however, no such invitation has been extended to the LoPs so far.
