AGARTALA, January 26 (TIWN): Alongwith the rest of the nation, the spirit of republic day was also observed in this state with patriotic songs playing at every other nook and corner, flying tri color and an environment of holiday apart from couple of government programmes. The patriotic instinct and fervor of people seem to arouse on a definite occasion only such as republic day and the other days of the year go on either by corrupt practices by a section of people , either in power or off the power.Our correspondent has also spoken to state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Sudhindra Dasgupta where the Sudhindra Dasgupta has remarked as “The constitution is the highest Act of the nation and it came in force on this very day of 1950 and the same protects the democratic right and ensures justice and prevents oppression on citizensâ€.
India possesses world’s largest written constitution. A draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Assembly on 4 November 1947. The Assembly met, in sessions open to public, for 166 days, spread over a period of 2 years, 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution. After many deliberations and some modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 January 1950. Two days later, it came into effect throughout the nation.
On our last note, we talked to the State Secretary of Communist Party of India- Marxist (CPI) Secretary Bijan Dhar to have his thoughts on the national day. “The true sense of the republic day is eroding day by day”, was the first assertion of Bijan Dhar. He has accused the ruling class of destroying the basis, fabric and sense of the republic government. “BJP led government is failed in case of social, economic and other spheres”, he said. Capitalising on his own remarks, when he was questioned that whether the state’s ruling government is playing with the trust of the people amidst multiple corruption, he stated: “Not all the disclosures made by the opposition are true though where Prima Facie evidences are got, the government takes action and no such steps and works are done by the government where the main base of constitution and national integrity are spoilt unlike other communal parties.”
While replying to the question of party’s dismal position in centre and subsequently state (amidst Modi wave) the party leader said, “Yes apparently is seems that the left parties are in a low position at present and electorally its true too.” He further accepted the fact the capacity of left parties to intervene into national politics is not strong enough and the same would have to be achieved through struggle.
