New Delhi [India], December 14 : BJP leaders came down heavily on the Congress party after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's concluded his speech on the Constitution debate.
Reacting to PM Modi's speech, JPC chairman on Waqf (Amendment) Bill and BJP leader Jagdambika Pal said that he has just exposed the truth and reality of Congress.
Slamming Congress, Pal stated that they are the ones who insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar and never given him India's highest civilian award 'Bharat Ratna'. He noted that Congress didn't even recognised 'panchtirth', the places associated with BR Ambedkar.
"He has just exposed Congress to their reality... He said that Babasaheb Ambedkar was insulted by then PM Jawaharlal Nehru and the Congress party... The 'panchtirth' associated with him were never recognized. he was never even given a Bharat Ratna, and they talk about the Constitution... He stated that he is Prime Minister today because of the Constitution and was the one who started the Constitution Day celebrations..." Pal told ANI.
Hitting out at Congress, Union Minister Bhagirath Chaudhary said that Congress does not worry about the Constitution and the country but only about themselves whereas PM Modi has worked with the motto of 'sabka sath , sabka vikas, sabka vishwas'.
Bhagirath Chaudhary said, "Congress does not worry about the Constitution and the country but only themselves. Before 1952, when the framework was formed, they tried to change the constitution. PM Narendra Modi has worked with the motto of 'sabka sath , sabka vikas, sabka vishwas'... They have only tried to promote their family..."
BJP MP PP Chaudhary said that the Congress was always against reservation.
"... Nehru and Gandhi family were always against reservation. Even in USA, Rahul Gandhi showed that he carries the DNA of Jawaharlal Nehru when he said SC/ST reservation should be abolished in India. And then these people talk about the Constitution... Rahul Gandhi's philosophy is beyond my understanding..." Chaudhary said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today slammed the Congress over the Emergency and said whenever democracy' is discussed, "this very sin" of Congress will be remembered.
Speaking in Lok Sabha during the discussion on the 'Glorious Journey of 75 Years of the Constitution of India,' the Prime Minister launched a strong attack on Congress and said "one family of Congress left no stone unturned in hurling a blow to the Constitution"
PM Modi said when India was celebrating 25 years of the Constitution, it "was torn apart" and Emergency was imposed.
"It is 75 years of the Constitution. But 25 years also has an importance, so do 50 years and 60 years...When the country was witnessing 25 years of Constitution, at the same time Constitution in our country was razed. Emergency was imposed, democratic systems were finished, country was turned into a prison, citizens's rights were looted, and press freedom was curtailed. This sin on the forehead of Congress can never be erased. Whenever democracy will be discussed across the world, Congress' sin will never be erased because democracy was strangled," PM Modi said.
Emergency was imposed on June 25, 1975 by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Referring to the Nehru-Gandhi family, PM Modi alleged that it "has challenged the Constitution at all levels".
"Highs and lows occurred, there were difficulties too, there were obstacles as well. But I bow before the people of the country once again that they strongly stood with the Constitution...I do not want to make personal criticism on anyone but it is important to place facts before the country. That is why, I would like to do that," he said.
"One family of Congress left no stone unturned in hurling a blow to the Constitution. I am mentioning that one family because in 75 years of our journey, they ruled for 55 years. So, the country has the right to know what happened. The tradition of this family's ill-thoughts, bad policies is ongoing continuously. This family has challenged the Constitution at all levels," he alleged.
The special two-day debate in Lok Sabha on 75 years of the Constitution concluded on Saturday.
