Is there no other association of the Congress in the making of the Constitution and the strengthening of the Constitution? There is, and that inspiring story is rarely told. Article 368 of the Constitution provides for the power of Parliament to amend the Constitution – a necessary power in the Constitution of any country. Because a nation goes through vicissitudes; because a nation faces new threats and opportunities; and because a Constitution is interpreted and re-interpreted by judges who hear the case. The Constitution is a living document that has to be adapted to the changing life of a nation.
Amendments strengthened Constitution
If I had spoken in the debate, I would have recalled some of the amendments made to the Constitution by Congress governments that actually strengthened the Constitution and advanced the lofty goals set out in the Preamble to the Constitution – especially Justice (social, economic and political) and Equality (of status and opportunity).
