\nCongress leader Jairam Ramesh has alleged that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has systematically sought to attack and undermine the Constitution of India, crafted with dedication by the Constituent Assembly under Dr B.R. Ambedkar. He further claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have actively advanced this agenda.
\nRamesh made the remarks in a post on X, coinciding with Constitution Day. He said the RSS has long aimed to subvert the Constitution\u2019s principles, which were established to secure equality, justice, and democracy for all citizens.
\nRecalling the history of India\u2019s Constitution, Ramesh noted that on November 26, 1949, the Constituent Assembly, presided over by Dr Rajendra Prasad, formally adopted the draft Constitution. He highlighted the pivotal role of Dr Ambedkar, who chaired the Drafting Committee and worked tirelessly despite ill health, alongside other key members including Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
\nRamesh also referenced C. Rajagopalachari, then Governor-General, who acknowledged Dr Ambedkar\u2019s leading role in Guwahati, calling it \u201cthe greatest triumph of non-violence\u201d and praising the collaboration with Nehru and Patel in steering the Constitution.
\nHe stressed that the RSS had no role in framing the Constitution, but after its adoption, it focused on undermining it. \u201cThis agenda of subversion is being carried forward by the present Prime Minister and Home Minister through calculated attempts to erode constitutional principles, provisions, and practices,\u201d Ramesh said.
\nHe added that Constitution Day should serve as a reminder of Dr Ambedkar\u2019s legacy and the importance of defending India\u2019s constitutional values against attempts to weaken them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
