"Very Welcome Idea": Former Chief Justice UU Lalit On Constitution Debate

Former Chief Justice of India UU Lalit has said the planned debate on the Constitution in parliament "certainly has good features about it". In an interview to NDTV, Chief Justice Lalit said every now and then, it is good to take stock of constitutional aspirations, goals and what exactly we have been able to achieve till now, and that "there can't be anything better than that."

"The parliamentarians quite periodically keep on taking stock of situations as to where exactly do we stand, how far have we come, whether there are any provisions which require any amendment or whether any amendments which had been effected up till now, whether those amendments need any kind of fresh reading. So therefore, this kind of introspection is something which is always welcome," Chief Justice Lalit told NDTV. "So if the parliamentarians wish to do that kind of introspection on the achievements on the constitutional front, then it is a very, very welcome idea."
