All religions are equal in Constitution: Siddaramaiah
Connect-2018 Community Convention
Grand Hubburasool Conference
Mangaluru, December 3: “Constitution was written on humanitarian ground. People of all religions in the country should live like one family members because, all religions are equal in the Constitution”, opined former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Inaugurating the ‘Grand Hubburasool Conference’ of the ‘Connect-2018 Community Get-together’ organized to mark the fifth anniversary of the Karnataka Cultural Foundation (KCF) at Nehru Stadium here on Monday, Siddaramaiah said that the “country has the communities like Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jains and Buddhists. No religion is above or below. Some people say that Siddaramaiah has been appeasing a single religion. But I have done my administration under the Constitutional provisions. The Constitution does not promote hatred. Instead, it has advocated tolerance, harmony and coexistence”, he said.
“India is a rich country and every individual has share in it. Unfortunately, the wealth is accumulated with a few people. The wealth of the nation should be distributed equally. I have ruled the state in this principle. I have not tried to appease any one religion”, he said.
Various schemes like Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya, Krishi Bhagya, Matru Poorna and other programmes have benefitted many people. But some people would not tolerate it. He would not hesitate to anything, but he would be committed to the Constitution as it was a guide to him, he added.
BJP-led NDA government has completely failed at the centre. They have failed to fulfill their promises. They remember Sri Rama only when they confront problems or elections. After election, definitely they would forget Rama. Every leader has got the benefit of the Constitution and it was their duty to protect it. More facilities should be ensured to the oppressed class to fulfill the intention of the Constitution, he said.
In his government, Rs 3100 crore was released for minority welfare. But he was not satisfied about it. If he had come to power, he would have kept Rs 10,000 crore to ensure social justice to everybody. He would urge the coalition government to release more funds, he said.
Urban Development and Housing Minister UT Khader said that Dakshina Kannada was a peace loving district. Though some people have been trying to instigate the people, they want peace and harmony, he said.
