"The strength of democracy of a huge country like India is our Constitution, which gives the mantra of national unity and integrity by ensuring justice and equal rights to every person," he wrote on 'X' in Hindi with the hashtag #75YearsOfConstitution.

Shah further mentioned that the Constitution is not just a book to be displayed on stage, but it is the key to make the highest contribution to public life by internalising it with full devotion.

"Let us pledge to build a strong, prosperous and self-reliant India on this Constitution Day," he said.

Later in the day, President Droupadi Murmu and PM Narendra Modi will deliver an address to a joint session of both Houses of Parliament in the historic Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan, launching year-long festivities to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution.
