The Constitution was also discussed in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. Many leaders from the ruling and opposition parties put forth their views. In the end, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also put forth his views on the Constitution. Shah attacked the opposition, especially the Congress, on issues ranging from Article 370 to reservation and EVMs. Shah also told the House how many times the Constitution was amended during the Congress government in the country and how many times during the BJP government. Apart from this, he also attacked the Congress over the Emergency.
Shah further said that no one should think that our Constitution is a copy of the Constitution of other countries, we have taken good things from other Constitutions, but did not leave our traditions. The Constitution strengthened the roots of democracy, the transfer of power happened without shedding a single drop of blood. If you look at Bharat through the prism of ‘India’, then the country will never be understood. As long as there is even one MP of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Parliament, we will not allow reservation to be implemented on the basis of religion.

Highlights of Amit Shah’s speech in Rajya Sabha-
Shah said that many political parties had said at the time of independence that democracy will not succeed in this country. I want to thank Sardar Patel that due to his tireless efforts, democracy has been established in this country to the depths of the underworld.
The Union Home Minister said that those who used to say that we will not be able to become economically independent, today even Britain is standing behind us in the economic table. During the discussion, one of our members said that the level of discussion has fallen so low that even pictures are being discussed.
If the reading glasses are foreign, then Indianness will never be seen in the Constitution, the Constitution is incomplete without pictures. It has been 75 years, it is also important to discuss how our political parties have taken the Constitution forward.
BJP amended the Constitution 22 times and Congress amended it 77 times.
Baba Saheb Ambedkar had said that no matter how good a Constitution is, it can become old if those who have the responsibility of running it do not run it well. Laws should also change with time. With time, society should also change.
Some politicians call themselves young at the age of 54 and say that they will change the Constitution. I want to tell them that there is a provision for amendment in the Constitution itself. BJP ruled for 16 years and amended the Constitution 22 times. Congress ruled for 55 years and amended it 77 times.
Constitution Amendment No. 1 was brought to curtail freedom of expression and that was brought during the government of Jawaharlal Nehru. Constitution Amendment No. 24 was brought during the time of Indira Gandhi. The 49th Constitutional Amendment was brought on 10 August 1975 to change the basic rights of the people, Indira Gandhi’s election was declared illegal.
Today they roam around with EVM saying that EVM defeated them. EVM is faulty in Maharashtra and in Jharkhand they quickly went and took oath wearing new clothes. Congress never paid attention to the backward castes, Narendra Modi government amended the Constitution to give them their rights.
Everyone knows how Congress treated Arif Mohammad Khan.
Amendment was made to give the state the right to evaluate backwardness in a population of 140 crores. Amendment was made to provide 33 percent reservation under Nari Shakti Vandan Act. Law was brought to abolish triple talaq. Congress did injustice to Muslim sisters for so many years by doing vote bank politics.
Triple talaq has been abolished, now no one is saying that it is good. Arif Mohammad Khan had said that Shah Bano should be compensated. After this he lost his MP post and minister post. The first education policy has come which even the Communist Party could not oppose.
A strange scene was seen in these elections, no one has waved the Constitution like this till date. This disgusting attempt was made by the Congress Party. The Constitution is not for waving. No one came to know in the Lok Sabha, there was awareness. In Maharashtra, a journalist got a copy of the Constitution and there was nothing written inside it. There was no Preamble either. I have never seen such a big fraud in my life.
Shah recited a poem on emergency
Niren Day was the Attorney General for 11 years. No one had to say yes sir. When Narendra Modi asked to celebrate Constitution Day, a senior Congress leader said what is the need, it is 26th January. I do not want to speak much on emergency but Dushyant Kumar’s poem is dedicated to Indira Gandhi.
A doll has life in many puppets today, the poet is surprised to see this spectacle. Yesterday I met him in the exhibition wearing tattered clothes, I asked him his name, who are you, he said I am the Constitution.
The soldiers of our security forces are ready to give their lives for an inch of land of the country. The Kacha Tivu island was suddenly given to Lanka by making an agreement. The rulers did not play such a game with the Constitution. I want to ask those who appeal for the Constitution, when 35A was brought, where was it brought, where was it discussed?
You consider the party to be the property of a private family, you consider the Constitution to be your private property, some leaders saw the formula to win elections in reservation. Reservation is not a new idea. Congress party is an anti-reservation party, there is a difference between their words and actions.
Where is the report of Kaka Saheb Kalekar Commission?
Kaka Saheb Kalekar Commission was formed in 1955 to provide reservation to OBCs, where is its report? There is no record of it anywhere. Any report has to be brought in the Parliament. Instead of bringing it in the Parliament, they kept it in the library. OBC reservation was kept in the library.
If Kaka Saheb Kalekar’s report had been accepted, then there would have been no need for the Mandal Commission report. When the Mandal Commission report was accepted, Rajiv Gandhi was the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha. He gave the longest speech against reservation.
UCC did not come because the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru brought the Muslim Personal Law. I want to ask the Congress Party whether you support the Muslim Personal Law… They also brought the Hindu Code Bill. There is no provision for even a single tradition of Hindus in it. They brought the Hindu Code Bill just so that Hindus do not feel bad.
Shah said- Why Sharia was not included in Criminal Law? If you support personal law, then why don’t you implement Sharia in Criminal Law? BJP government has brought UCC in Uttarakhand. Digvijay Singh says who stops you. Our way is to work in a democratic way. Why did Ambedkar ji have to resign from the country’s first cabinet because he said that I disagree with the government’s foreign policy and Article 370, then Nehru ji had said that Ambedkar’s departure will not make much difference to the cabinet. In two states of the country, reservation is given on the basis of religion, which is unconstitutional. They do not want to give reservation to OBCs, they want to give reservation to Muslims by increasing the limit of 50 percent. As long as we are there, we will not allow reservation on the basis of religion. By removing 370, your appeasement shop has closed down. To remove 370, one needs a heart of iron. 370 and 35A were abolished in this house. In this parliament, they used to say that rivers of blood will flow. Leave aside the rivers of blood, I did not have the courage to throw even a pebble.
Indira had called Savarkar a great person-Shah
I cannot repeat the words that a senior Congress member said for Savarkar. Veer is added before his name for no reason. Lies have been spread for many years without any information. In the freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947, if any person has been imprisoned twice in a lifetime, then it was Veer Savarkar.
We discuss such a person in public. Can patriotism be linked to any ideology? Don’t believe us, but Indira ji said on his death in 1966 that Savarkar was a great person, his courage is synonymous with patriotism.
The son of a poor tea seller comes into politics and does not believe in appeasement and becomes the Prime Minister of the country. Leave appeasement, corruption and nepotism and you will win the election. There will be no need to form any committee. I heard many slogans of Mohabbat Ki Dukan. I want to tell them that love is not something that can be sold in a shop.
