Taking a jibe a Congress, PM Modi said, "Party for the family, by the family...do I need to say more? If a party is run by one family for many generations, then, it isn't good for a healthy democracy, says PM Modi during an address at the Parliament.
He further said that India is heading towards a crisis which is a matter of concern for those who are devoted to the Constitution and believe in democracy and the issue is parties promoting nepotism and thinking only about the welfare of their families.
PM Modi further said that during this 'Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav', it is necessary for the country to move forward on the path of duty so that our rights are protected.
The Prime Minister said that Constitution Day should have been celebrated each year after 1950 to educate all about what went into the making of the Constitution. But some people did not do so. This day should also be celebrated to evaluate whether what we do is right or not.
