India is in “a golden period”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday as he urged institutions to work together in order to shape the “New India”. “This is a golden period for India and institutions must work together and strengthen each other,” said Modi, in his address at the valedictory session of an event organized by Law Commission of India and NITI Aayog to celebrate National Law Day.
He said the legislative, judiciary and executive branches are part of one family with the Constitution as its guardian. Limits on the scope and power of the three wings of the state are mandated by the Constitution to prevent tyranny and oppression, he added.“We must pledge to work together and eradicate poverty, squalor, hunger, diseases, discrimination, exploitation, and provide decent conditions of living….destroy nepotism, corruption, profiteering and black marketing”, Modi said.
