Prime Minister Narendra Modi will intervene and conclude the debate in the Parliament over the Constitution, on the second day of the Winter Session, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu said.
Naidu said: “The Lok Sabha and Raj Sabha will also discuss the same issue. The Prime Minister will intervene and conclude the debate. This is not a statement or a clarification, but a conclusion by the leader of the house.”
In the Rajya Sabha, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will initiate the discussion today which will be carried out on Monday as well.
“Prime Minister Modi will be intervening in the Rajya Sabha also,” Naidu added.
Earlier, it was announced by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan that the first two days of the Winter Session of Parliament would be dedicated to the commemoration of the adoption of Indian Constitution on November 26, 1949.
On Thursday, the first day of the Winter Session, some fireworks were seen when Home Minister Rajnath Singh and then Congress president Sonia Gandhi were addressing the house.
Singh raised a storm saying that Dr. Ambedkar, the principle architect of the Constitution didn’t find it necessary to insert ‘Socialist’ and ‘Secular’ words in the Preamble as he felt it’s already in our basic nature adding that secular is the most misused word in Indian politics.
Sonia said that the founding principles of the Constitution were under attack in India today.
