The special two-day debate on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of India’s Constitution began on Friday in the Lok Sabha, where the BJP-led NDA and the Congress-led INDIA group locked horns. Among those who spoke during the first day of the debate were Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and MP Mahua Moitra.
The now ongoing session, which is scheduled to have a reply from Mr. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, on Saturday, is a some degree a newly added chapter to the current ongoing debate of India’s Constitution. A similar practice is scheduled to happen in Rajya Sabha on December 16 and 17, and home minister Amit Shah is likely to initiate the debate in the upper House on Monday.
The debate comes at a time when political temperatures are rising, as there are continuing pitched battles between the ruling BJP and the Opposition. These tensions have disrupted the normal Voicing of both Houses of Parliament since the start of the winter session, which is slated to end on December 20.
Amidst this discussion, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, citing VD Savarkar, that there is no ‘Bharatiya’ in the constitution of ‘Bharat’. This statement gained much publicity and concern from lawmakers as Gandhi’s remarks were seen as his criticism of some provisions of the Constitution.
On the other hand, another Bangalore MP from BJP, Tejaswi Surya, raised an issue by claiming that Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has a connection with outlawed business tycoon George Soros. Surya accused Soros and his friends, who he alleged were funding the various riots to bring down the leadership of the country, a statement that introduced tension into the debate. This was evidenced by the loud murmur he received as people in the discussion remained so charged up.
This particular debate, which was entirely comprised of political rhetoric and hostile declarations, could not be any further highlighting the strategic partnership between India’s political parties.
