Controversy Surrounds Absence of Original RS Images in Updated Constitution Editions
He stated, “I must be clear that the Constitution signed by the Founding Fathers, which includes 22 miniatures, is the only authentic version. Amendments can be made by Parliament alone, and any changes made by the judiciary or other institutions are unacceptable to this House.”During Zero Hour, BJP Member Radha Mohan Das Agrawal raised concerns about the exclusion of 22 illustrations, including depictions of Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, and King Vikramaditya, claiming these changes were unconstitutional.
Chairman Dhankhar urged the leader of the House to ensure that only the authentic version of the Indian Constitution is presented, emphasizing that any deviation should be taken seriously and addressed by the government. “The Constitution, as signed by the founding fathers and featuring 22 miniatures, is the only authentic one,” he reiterated.
Agrawal pointed out that updated copies of the Constitution on MPs’ computers included the previously mentioned illustrations, which ignited the controversy. He expressed his gratitude to the government, to which Chairman Dhankhar responded positively.
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, countered Agrawal’s claims, asserting that he had never encountered the illustrations the BJP MP referenced and accusing him of misrepresenting the Constitution, which he believed disrespected B.R. Ambedkar, one of the Constitution’s framers. Subsequently, Congress members staged a walkout from the session.
Leader of the House J.P. Nadda criticized the Opposition during the uproar over the illustrations, questioning why Congress was so troubled by the issue. He accused them of having a “hidden agenda” to distance future generations from India’s cultural heritage and values, pledging that the government would make the original Constitution available, prioritizing Constitutional sentiments. He took issue with Kharge’s comments, requesting that they be expunged from the records.
Outside Parliament, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari claimed that the government had “conspired to change the Constitution and its copies distributed to MPs.” He expressed concern that the government had disrespected B.R. Ambedkar, stating that the INDIA bloc parties were committed to preserving the Constitution and protecting Ambedkar’s legacy, which led to their walkout.
NCP (SP) lawmaker Fauzia Khan echoed these sentiments, alleging that the government intended to alter the Constitution and referred to the Opposition’s accusations regarding the distribution of modified copies. “The BJP’s double standards are apparent—while they discredit the Constitution at every turn, they simultaneously position themselves as its protectors,” she declared. She vowed that the INDIA bloc leaders would oppose any such disrespect towards the Constitution or B.R. Ambedkar.
