"On this very day that year, we, the people of India, adopted our Constitution."
President Droupadi Murmu released the translated version of the Constitution in nine languages, including Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Bodo, Kashmiri, Telugu, Odia and Assamese, on Wednesday, on the auspicious day of the 75th Constitution Day at a program at the Samvidhan Sadan in the parliament.
President Droupadi Murmu said while addressing the parliament today, "I am delighted to be among you all on the historic occasion of Constitution Day. On this very day, November 26, 1949, in this very Central Hall of the Constitution House, the members of the Constituent Assembly completed the task of drafting the Constitution of India. On this very day that year, we, the people of India, adopted our Constitution. After independence, the Constituent Assembly also served as India's interim Parliament. Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, Chairman of the Drafting Committee, was one of the principal architects of our Constitution..."
Further in her address, she talked about curbing the "social evil associated with triple talaq".
Additionally, she said, "Parliament took historic steps toward the empowerment and social justice of our sisters and daughters. The Goods and Services Tax, the biggest tax reform since independence, was implemented to promote the country's economic integration. The repeal of Article 370 removed a barrier that had been hindering the country's overall political integration. The Nari Shakti Bandhan Act will usher in a new era of women-led development... This year, starting November 7th, a nationwide commemoration is being held to mark the completion of 150 years of the composition of our national anthem, Vande Mataram..."
All the leaders at the end of the program read the preamble of the Constitution, led by the president, and it was followed by the national anthem.
