Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Sunday said India has been able to come out of adverse situations due to its Constitution.

Meghwal made the remarks while addressing an event in the presence of President Droupadi Murmu and Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud to celebrate Constitution Day.

“Countries around us got independence — Pakistan attained independence with us; Sri Lanka got independence before us but disturbance, Nepal there was a disturbance, there was a disturbance in Myanmar,” he said adding Bangladesh also faced problems. “But there is only one key reason as to why we moved in the right direction. We had the living document, the Constitution,” he said.

Meghwal further said India came out of several adverse situations due to the Constitution. “We came out of various adverse situations. Several situations came when questions were raised on whether we will get disbalanced. But we did not and the only big reason is the Indian Constitution,” the Union Minister said.
