Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 3 (ANI): Chief Minister Siddaramaiah took on the role of a teacher at his home office Krishna on Tuesday, delivering an insightful lesson on the Constitution to over 50 students from across Karnataka, according to a press release.
This session which was a part of the Constitution Reading Campaign, featured engaging discussions, prize distribution for essay competition winners, and reflections on the values enshrined in the Constitution, said the release from the Chief Minister's Office
Quoting BR Ambedkar, the Chief Minister emphasised that the success of the Constitution depends on the individuals who uphold it, while Kuvempu's vision of India as a "garden of peace for all races" highlighted the spirit of unity. He noted that secularism and social justice, added through amendments, were upheld by the Supreme Court as foundational principles of India's pluralism.
CM Siddaramaiah critiqued the caste system, calling it barbaric for fostering inequality by denying education and opportunities to marginalised groups. Sharing his journey from being deprived of education to becoming a lawyer, he highlighted the transformative power of education. He urged citizens to understand the Constitution's objectives and rights, asserting that those who oppose the Constitution are inherently anti-social, the release said.
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah also praised Basavanna for rejecting the caste system centuries ago, expressing regret that such divisions persist.
The CM concluded that the Constitution leaves no room for divisions based on caste or religion, reinforcing India's identity as a diverse yet united nation. This initiative aims to inspire citizens to embody constitutional principles, promoting equality, justice, and respect for all. (ANI)

That day I was upset for the fact that the Opposition MP said that 'I do not need permission from anyone to speak in Parliament', this is on record. 'This is my right to speak in Parliament', our Leader of Opposition said this. So I was thinking, there are many senior members in Congress, why did they not explain that in this House, PM, minister, LoP can be present but one needs permission from speaker to speak," Rijiju said in the House.
