Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas to remind when Constitution trampled: PM

The government announced the decision to observe 25 June, the day the Emergency was promulgated, as “Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas,” with a view to keep future generations aware of injustices meted out to citizens under the Emergency imposed by the Indira Gandhi government of the Congress Party.

The Steel Frame

At all times, the bureaucrat must remain connected to the ground and not allow her advice and decisions to be influenced by vested interests or political pressure. The Indian ship is too big for sudden course corrections. Each decision for major change has to be extensively and painstakingly discussed with all stakeholders. Only when a consensus is available should major changes be made.

This indicates that the Constitution was finalised without having sufficient time, thought and homework or was a compromise document, and therefore had to be amended frequently
