India’s deep-rooted democracy and Constitution have proven wrong those who doubted the country’s economic rise, Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday said while wrapping up the Rajya Sabha two-day debate on 75 years of the Constitution day

Here are the top 10 things Amit Shah said:

  • "The debates that happened in both Houses of the Parliament will be useful for the youth of the country... It will also help the people of the country to understand which party has honoured the Constitution and which has not...," Amit Shah said.
  • “When we look back on 75 years of Constitution, I want to thank Sardar Patel as due to his tireless efforts we are standing tall and in the world as one nation”. Meanwhile, slamming the Congress, he added, “They (Cong) did nothing except eulogising Nehru-Gandhi family

  • "In the last 75 years, there have been many nations that became independent and had new beginnings but democracy did not succeed there. But our democracy is deep-rooted.

  • Noting that India is now the fifth largest economy in the world, he said, “The people of our country and our Constitution have given a befitting reply to those who said that we would never be able to become economically independent... Today we are the 5th largest economy... We have left Britain behind,”
