The Constitution of India is facing a death threat now with a strange increase in the attempts to suppress our secularistic values and the concept of fraternity by people who are responsible for safeguarding it, Minister for Tourism and Public Works P.A. Mohamed Riyas has said.
Addressing the media after the 75h Republic Day celebrations at Vikram Maidan in Kozhikode on January 26, the Minister claimed that the country was going through a strange situation where the practice of treating every religion equally was found to be neglected.
“Attempts to weaken the federal system should be opposed by all citizens in their efforts to uphold the constitutional values. India can stand out only if we can continue to safeguard these values,” said Mr. Riyas. He also pointed out that the cooperation of Union and State governments respecting the true spirit of federalism was crucial for the nation’s progress.
