This statement is deeply condemnable in a constitutional democracy and nothing justifies it.<br /> <br /> He might have been better off paying heed to his own Chief Minister who, a few years ago, categorically said that while &ldquo;we respect all holy books... the Constitution is the holy book in a democracy.&rdquo; There is a great deal of truth in this assertion. On January 26, 1950, for the first time in Indian history, we, believers and practitioners of diverse philosophies and religions, decided to also become the people of a single book. This was the only way to knit ourselves together into one modern nation &mdash; not only because, taken collectively, we find ultimate worth in many books, but also because we live with traditions where books are religiously irrelevant: devotional singing, ritual performance, meditation, truthful self-examination is enough. Henceforth, each of us had to find a fit between our distinctive way of reaching the ultimate &mdash; one god, many gods and goddesses, or indeed no god at all &mdash; and a common, basic framework for living together. No matter how inadequate our Constitution, an enduring consensus exists that it provides a strong, secure foundation for an inclusive, dignity-protecting, and freedom-sensitive society.

People of different faiths must find a fit between their own distinctive way of reaching the ultimate and a common, basic framework for living together A Minister of the West Bengal government, Siddiqullah Chowdhury, reportedly remarked recently that for Muslims, “our holy scripture, the Quran Sharif, is supreme and if any constitutional provision... contradicts the Quran, then our scripture will prevail and not the Constitution”. This statement is deeply condemnable in a constitutional democracy and nothing justifies it.
