Addressing the All India Presiding Officers Conference. https://t.co/vwPvZRWMff — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 26 2020 Underlining that there is no place for politics of untouchability Modi cited the example of the Statue of Unity built by his government for Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel despite him not being from the BJP or the Jana Sangh. The constitution is our guiding light to take on challenges in the 21st century and national interest should be our basis for every decision Modi said He called for raising awareness about the Constitution. “Our Constitution has many features but one very special feature is the importance given to duties. Mahatma Gandhi was very keen on this. He saw a close link between rights and duties. He felt that once we perform our duties rights will automatically be safeguarded” Modi said. He also referred to the practice of KYC (know your customer) in the corporate world and said there should be a similar KYC drive in the form of Know Your Constitution to popularise the Constitution and its different features. The All India Presiding Officers Conference began in 1921 and the Gujarat event marks its centenary year. The theme for this years conference is Harmonious Coordination between Legislature Executive and Judiciary- Key to a Vibrant Democracy.
