Nagpur,

28 June (HS): On Saturday, Chief Justice of India BR Gavai stated that Dr. BR

Ambedkar envisioned a single Constitution for the country to keep it unified

and never supported the concept of a separate constitution for each state. Speaking at the opening of the Constitution

Preamble Park here, the Chief Justice said the Supreme Court was inspired by

Dr. Ambedkar's vision of a unified India under a single constitution in

supporting the Centre's decision to repeal Article 370, which conferred special

status to Jammu and Kashmir.

Gavai

was a member of a five-judge Constitution panel led by then Chief Justice DY

Chandrachud that unanimously backed the Centre's decision to repeal Article

370, which granted special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

When

Article 370 was challenged, it came before us, and as the hearing began, I

remembered Dr Babasaheb's statements that one Constitution is suitable for a

country... When addressing the audience

in Marathi, he stated that if we want to keep the country unified, we simply

need one Constitution. On August 5, 2019, the Centre resolved to deprive Jammu

and Kashmir of its unique status and partition it into two union territories.

Gavai

stated that Dr. Ambedkar had been chastised, claiming that the Constitution

allows for too much federalism and that the country may not remain together

during a conflict. However, he reacted by stating that the Constitution will

meet all of the obstacles and keep the country unified, according to the CJI.

Consider

the condition in bordering nations, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri

Lanka. Gavai stated that whenever our

country encounters a difficulty, it remains unified. On the occasion, Union

Minister Nitin Gadkari expressed his satisfaction that CJI Gavai inaugurated

the Constitution Preamble Park and unveiled a monument of Dr Ambedkar. Dr.

Ambedkar's Constitution provided the country with freedom, equality, and

fraternity, he stated. Gadkari claimed that the Constitution clearly defines

the roles and rights of the four pillars of democracy: the executive,

judiciary, legislature, and media.

According

to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Gavai is doing an excellent job as India's

Chief Justice. Fadnavis emphasized the importance of the Constitution, stating

that the government has determined that the Preamble of the Constitution shall

be distributed to all students as part of the Constitution's Amrit Mohotsav

campaign. If we adopt the Preamble's values, 90% of the country's issues would

be permanently fixed, he stated.
