Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday greeted the people of the country on Constitution Day, and said it is the responsibility of all to ensure that justice and rights are equal for all. Constitution Day is celebrated to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly in 1949. "Justice and rights should be equal for all so that the Constitution does not become just a paper, it is the responsibility of all of us," Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi. "Greetings to all on the Constitution Day of the country," he also said using the hashtag "#ConstitutionDay2021".
"On Constitution Day, Central and state governments need to seriously review whether they are following the Indian Constitution properly and with full honesty. The BSP feels that it is not being done and the governments need to think over it," she told reporters here. "And so, the BSP has decided not to take part in programmes organised by the Central and state governments on Constitution Day," she said.
BSP president Mayawati on Friday asked the Central and state governments to seriously ponder if they are following the Constitution in the true spirit, and announced that her party will not take part in the programmes being organised on Constitution Day. The benefits given to SC/STs by the Constitution have not reached these sections, she lamented.
