Union Minister of Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal, speaking at the 'Legally Speaking' event organised by iTV group (NewsX, India News and The Sunday Guardian), covered the topics ranging from the significance of "One Nation, One Election" initiative to electoral reforms and parliamentary challenges.
Meghwal said, "When PM Modi assumed office in 2014, prior to this, November 26 was observed as Law Day. It was PM Modi's vision, stemming from his days as Gujarat's Chief Minister, to honour the Constitution. He proposed that this day be observed as Constitution Day."
Meghwal elaborated on the origins of this observance, stating that during Dr B.R. Ambedkar's 125th birth anniversary celebrations in 2015, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment issued a circular declaring November 26 as Constitution Day. He credited PM Modi for transforming the day into a national celebration of the Constitution's legacy.
