“The Constitution has guaranteed rights to live without any discrimination. It has provided space for people of different faiths and religions to live in equality and harmony. There is no greater religion in India than the Constitution. Nobody has the right or power to violate the Constitution which we, the Indians, have written and dedicated to ourselves. The final authority is in the hands of people. People of India are the sovereigns. It is not the Gods but the people that rule India,” said Vidyasagar.
