1st statute tweak ‘curbed’ free speech: PM Modi

IndiaTimes Sunday, 26 November 2023
PM Modi commemorates Constitution Day and highlights the first amendment of the Constitution during Nehru's tenure, which curtailed freedom of speech. He also mentions the rectification of the 42nd amendment, which was imposed during the Emergency by the Indira Gandhi government, through the 44th amendment. The 44th amendment restored powers to the judiciary and allowed judicial review of the election process. PM Modi recalls the adoption of the Constitution on November 26, 1949, and the decision to observe this day as Constitution Day.
