VICE-PRESIDENT’S STRESS ON MINIATURES OF RAM, KRISHNA & BUDDHA IN ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION

                    From Our Bureau
NEW DELHI: Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankar on Wednesday expressed pain that children are not exposed to the original copy of India’s Constitution, containing miniatures of Ram, Krishna and Buddha.

Inaugurating the “Hamara Samvidhan Hamara Samman” campaign here commemorating the 75th year of India as a Republic, he noted that this original document contains 22 miniature paintings, positioned thoughtfully above each part of constitution, VP said that through these miniatures, the founding fathers of the constitution expressed the essence of our five-thousand-year old culture.

But you have not been able to see it because it is not the part of the books, he said while urging the Union Law Minster to take initiative to ensure that the country is made available the constitution in its authentic form, as given to us by our founding fathers.

He described the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22 as “our tryst with divinity.” He also launched tele-facilitation service — Nyaya Setu.

Underlining that one cannot claim to be living in a democracy if one doesn’t enjoy fundamental rights, VP highlighted that in this part of constitution, we have the miniature of Shri Ram, Sita & Laxman returning to Ayodhya.

Dhankar said: “The spine of our Constitution is very strong. Our Constitution has enabled us to traverse difficult terrain and record epochal developments.

“Declaration of emergency was the darkest period of our Constitutional history and a blemish on our otherwise sublime civilisational journey of 5000 years,” he said.
