India will function according to the Constitution and not on the basis of any religious scriptures, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has said.
He was addressing a gathering during the valedictory function of the Samvidhan Jagruthi Jatha in Wadi town of Chittapur taluk, Kalaburagi district, on Monday.
Mr. Kharge said that the Constitution ensures equal rights to all citizens irrespective of race, religion, caste and gender. “There are 25,000 sub-castes in India. Diverse castes give us diversity in culture, art, traditions, food and our heritage as a whole. We are all different and unique and this is what builds a nation,” he said.
