Constitutional values must endure rapid tech change, says minister Murugan

Minister of State L. Murugan has called on citizens and institutions to ensure that constitutional values are not eroded by the pace of technological advancement, warning that rapid change in the digital landscape must not come at the cost of the principles that underpin the nation.

Addressing the relationship between governance and emerging technology, Murugan emphasised that while innovation must be embraced, it should always be guided and tempered by the enduring values enshrined in the Constitution.

His remarks reflect a growing conversation within government circles about how to balance the opportunities presented by new technologies with the fundamental rights and democratic norms that define the country's legal and civic framework.
