In a passionate debate on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra highlighted the alarming situation of violence in Sambhal and Manipur. She expressed her disappointment in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's lack of response and understanding of the Constitution, which she believes is not just a rule book for the Sangh but a protective shield for justice, unity, and freedom of expression.
Priyanka Gandhi, who recently joined Parliament as the MP for Wayanad, stressed that the government has been making efforts to weaken the Constitution for the past 10 years. She pointed out that while the Prime Minister may touch his forehead to the Constitution, there seems to be no concern or wrinkles on his forehead when cries for justice arise from Sambhal, Hathras, and Manipur.
The Congress leader firmly stated that it is "Bharat ka Samvidhan" and not "Sangh ka Vidhan" and urged the government to understand and respect the difference. She also accused the government of working towards weakening the reservation policy through lateral entry and privatisation, which could have been even more damaging had the Lok Sabha election results not been in their favor.
Priyanka Gandhi further emphasized that the people of this country are the ones who will keep the Constitution alive, and it is their voices that will make a difference. She highlighted the demand for a caste-based census and pointed out that even the ruling party has been talking about it after the election results. She criticized the government's lack of response when the entire opposition was calling for it, and instead, they focused on issues like cattle and mangalsutras being stolen in their election campaign.
The Congress leader praised the Constitution for its message of unity and accused the BJP-led government of pursuing divisive politics. She reminded everyone that the NDA won 293 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, with the BJP winning 240 seats on its own. However, she also added that the truth is that the people of this country are the ones who will truly keep the Constitution alive, not just the ruling party.
