ITANAGAR,  Nov 25: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) and Chief Minister Pema Khandu have greeted fellow citizens of the State on the occasion of Constitution Day celebrated all over the country on November 26 every year commemorating the birth anniversary of Dr B R Ambedkar, Father of Constitution of India. 
In his message to the people, the Governor said that the Constitution of India, one of the most exhaustively written Constitutions in the world, came into force on January 26, 1950. It secures Justice, Liberty and Equality for the people and promotes Fraternity amongst the countrymen. The unique laudable feature of our Constitution is our secular democracy. On this day, let us acknowledge with gratitude, the contributions of our great Freedom Fighters, particularly Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the President of the Constituent Assembly, who later became the First President of India and Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the head of the Drafting Committee, who later became the First Minister for Law and Justice of India, in writing the Constitution, he said while appealing to all the fellow citizens of Arunachal Pradesh to uphold the sanctity of the Indian Constitution particularly the Fundamental Duties as enshrined in it.
May the true spirit of our Constitution always guide us towards the growth, progress and prosperity of our society, State and Nation, the Governor said in his message.
In a message here this evening, Khandu said the Constitution of India is of a different genre, derived from best portions of constitutions of various countries and suitably adapted to Indian conditions. 
Under the Chairmanship of Dr B R Ambedkar, the drafting committee took around three years to draft the constitution and in this period, around eleven sessions were held that covered 165 days.
“We must remember that the Constitution of India was neither typeset nor printed; rather it was handwritten and calligraphic in both Hindi and English languages. We can just imagine the amount of hard work put in by Dr B R Ambedkar and his team of 17 committees,” he said.
Khandu assured the people that his government will remain committed to the democratic values enshrined in of Constitution.
“In fact, democratic values are core to our tribal culture, and we would strengthen it through our commitment,” he added.
