Nadda slams Cong over Preamble amendment, says ‘bad lot’ interfered with Constitution many times

Even a good constitution can prove to be bad if those implementing it are not good, Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha J P Nadda said on Tuesday, asserting the “bad lot” interfered with the Indian Constitution many times.

Participating in a discussion on the “Glorious Journey of 75 Years of the Constitution of India”, Nadda attacked the Congress over the Emergency, amendment to the Preamble of the Constitution and also raised the Article 370 issue.

He said the nation is indebted to the members of the Constituent Assembly who shaped the Constitution.

“As the prime minister said, India is not just the largest democracy, but the mother of democracy. The architects of our Constitution knew this is not a nation in the making, it was always a nation,” said Nadda, who is also the BJP president.

“As per Indian ethos, democracy comprises freedom, acceptability, equality, inclusivity and allowing citizens to lead a dignified life,” he said.

The BJP leader quoted B R Ambedkar to say “however good a Constitution may be, if those who are implementing it are not good, it will prove to be bad”. He also said the “bad lot has interfered with the Constitution many times”.
