New Delhi, Nov 29: Noted Senior advocate of Supreme Court, Ashok Bhan greeted people on Samvidhan Diwas.
Speaking to lawyers in an event organised by Asia Pacific Lawyers group, senior Supreme Court advocate and a prominent bar leader Ashok Bhan wished the citizens of India all over the globe a happy Samvidhan Diwas.
He said this day is a reminder to us that while the constitution gives rights to the citizens, frames principles, procedures, restrictions and duties for the government at the same time it casts duties on the citizens to follow the rule of law.
Bhan said to safeguard democracy the people must have a keen sense of independence, self-respect, their unity and oneness, and should insist upon choosing as their representatives only such persons who are honest, grounded, good truthful and firm faith in Constitutionalism.
Bhan said, “the Constitution Day is observed every year in India. The day is also known as Samvidhan Diwas or National Law Day. Constitution Day is celebrated to commemorate the day when the Constitution of India was adopted. The National Law Day highlights the significance of the Indian Constitution in governing the country. Indians share Constitutional Day and Samvidhan Diwas wishes.”
This day was celebrated as a national Law day and since 2015 after the Government of India issued a gazette notification. The year also marked the 125th birth anniversary of Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution of India.
“The constitution of India frames the rights, principles, procedures, restrictions and duties of the government as well as the people of India. It also declares India to be a secular, sovereign and a democratic republic,” he said
