Lok Sabha to Debate on Indian Constitution Ahead of 75th Anniversary

NEW DELHI, india - Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is set to mark a significant milestone in the history of the Indian Republic with a two-day special debate on the Constitution of India beginning from Friday. The Lok Sabha will be the venue for this debate, where Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to initiate the discussion.

The exercise aims to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the adoption of India's Constitution in 1949. The debate is seen as an endeavour by the government to re-ignite a national conversation about its founding document and to engage with citizen representatives on crucial issues relevant to the country's progress under the new constitution.

Notably, while Rajnath Singh will open the debate in Parliament's lower house, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to begin a similar discussion in the Rajya Sabha - India's upper legislative body. The debates are likely to see participation from various experts, former judges of the Supreme Court and citizen representatives from across the country.

The government move to hold such an exercise indicates an attempt to rekindle public discourse on vital aspects of governance, social structures as well as economic policies under which the nation is governed by its current constitution. With a range of topics anticipated to be addressed in the two-day deliberations, expect heightened engagement from stakeholders ranging from politicians to ordinary citizens.
