26 November Constitution Day: Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi – the Central Government and the Opposition are at loggerheads over the list of speakers at the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament to be addressed by President Draupadi Murmu on the occasion of 75 years of the Constitution in November. There was an argument. 26.
Leaders of Indian block parties have written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, urging him to allow opposition leaders in both Houses to speak during the function in the Central Hall of the Constituent Assembly.
“We are writing in the context of the celebrations to be held tomorrow (Tuesday) in the Central Hall of the Constitution House to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India. We understand that the ceremony will be addressed by the President, Vice President and Prime Minister. We believe that in the best traditions and interests of parliamentary democracy, the Leaders of the Opposition (LOP) in both Houses should also be given an opportunity to speak on this historic occasion,” the letter said.
Hours after the letter, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accused ‘some opposition parties’ of reacting without knowing the real system. He said that Prime Minister Modi will not address this program.
PM is not speaking: Government
“The problem with some opposition parties is that they start reacting without knowing the real system. The Prime Minister is not even speaking at the function tomorrow (Tuesday). The President, Vice President and President of India will speak,” Rijiju said.
As per the schedule, Birla will deliver the welcome address, followed by Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s speech and President Murmu’s address. A commemorative coin and a postage stamp and three books on the Constitution will also be released to mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution.
“Secondly, we have made seating arrangements for the leader of the opposition of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the stage. This kind of reaction on a very serious occasion, without knowing anything, is condemnable.
In the best traditions and interests of parliamentary democracy, leaders of the opposition should also be given an opportunity to speak.
Constitution Day, also known as Constitution Day, is celebrated every year on 26 November. This day marks the adoption of the Indian Constitution by the Constituent Assembly of India in 1949.
