In ancient times, kings used to know the pain of the people in disguise…: Priyanka Gandhi
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, elected to the Lok Sabha for the first time from Wayanad, attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the debate on the Constitution on Friday. He also accused PM Modi of ignoring the Sambhal and Manipur violence. On Friday, when the ‘grand journey of 75 years of the Constitution of the country’ was being discussed in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, Rajnath Singh started the discussion on behalf of the government. Rajnath Singh accused the Congress of always choosing power over the Constitution and said that the Constitution was amended 62 times during the Congress rule. At the same time, pro-opposition Priyanka Gandhi took the lead and took the central government to task.
On Friday, the 14th day of the winter session of Parliament, Priyanka Gandhi took part in a two-day debate on the Constitution. While giving a speech in the Lok Sabha for the first time, he opened a front against the Modi government. In her speech, Priyanka raised issues like caste-based census, Adani dispute, Sambhal violence, unrest in Manipur.
Opposition leaders are jailed and tortured
Priyanka said that once upon a time in this country, kings used to change their clothes and go among the public. Knowing their pain, he used to hear criticism against himself among the people. However, the current king is fond of dressing up. But they do not have the courage to go among the public and listen to criticism. Today’s king is afraid of criticism. Opposition leaders have been put in jail. Is troubled.
This country is not built on fear, but on courage and struggle
He said, ‘The atmosphere of fear that exists in the country today was there during the British rule. During the British rule, the people sitting on this side following Gandhiji’s ideology were fighting for freedom, while the people sitting on the other side were aligned with the British. But fear also has its own nature. Those who scare people become victims of fear themselves. This country was not built on fear, but on courage and struggle.
Modi government made every possible effort to break the security cycle of the Constitution in 10 years.
He said, ‘The Constitution has given courage and confidence to the people. This country does not run on fear. Fear also has a limit. When this limit is crossed, it creates such power that no coward can stand before it. This country is no longer in the hands of cowards. The Constitution is the safeguard of justice, unity and freedom of expression, but the BJP-led Modi government has made every possible effort to weaken it in the last 10 years.
People rejected the slogan of 400 people and stopped the government from changing the constitution.
Priyanka Gandhi further said, ‘This government is working to weaken the reserve through lateral entry and privatization. If the NDA government had crossed the 400 mark in the Lok Sabha, the work of changing the Constitution would have started. But the people of the country have stopped him from doing so. When the opposition talked about caste based census, they said that they will steal the buffalo, they will steal the mangalsutra, this is their seriousness.
PM Modi ignored Sambhal, Manipur violence
Priyanka Gandhi said, ‘The central government is ruining the state governments with the power of rupee. The governments of Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal are examples. The whole country knows that they have washing machines, which are washed here and there. Many of our friends went to them and washed clothes in the washing machine. He said that the Prime Minister keeps the book of the Constitution on his head here, but in Sambhal, Manipur, if the voice of justice is raised then he does not listen. Perhaps he did not understand that this is the Constitution of India and not the ‘Constitution of the Union’. The Constitution of the country has given us unity.
All the resources of the country were given to one person
Raising the issue of Adani, he said, ‘Modi government has given all the cold storage to Adani. The country is seeing that 142 crore people of the country are being deprived of saving even one person. All business, all trade, all resources, all property, government mines, government companies are being given to one person.
Congress changed Constitution 62 times to silence opponents: Rajnath
Earlier, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday started a two-day debate on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha and attacked the Congress. He said, ‘Today people talk about protecting the Constitution, but they need to understand who has respected the Constitution and who has insulted it. The Constitution was changed 62 times during the rule of the Congress Party. Congress has not only amended the Constitution but also maliciously attempted to gradually change it. During the time of Pandit Jawarlal Nehru, 17 changes were made in the Constitution. Apart from this, the Constitution was changed 28 times during the time of Indira Gandhi, 10 times during the time of Rajiv Gandhi and 7 times during the time of Manmohan Singh. He alleged that, ‘Most of the research conducted by Congress governments was done to silence opponents or critics or to implement wrong policies.’
JDU leader Lalan Singh attacks Congress
New Delhi: During the two-day debate on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha on the occasion of Constitution Day, JDU MP and Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh attacked the Congress. Referring to the misuse of Article 356, Lalan Singh told Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi that the eater of the Constitution can never be its protector.
JDU leader Lalan Singh said that Congress ruled the country for a long time. During this period he raised the flag of the Constitution several times. This is the reason that today the Constitution has made them stand where they were facing for the last 15 years. In her first speech, the Congress woman MP took a sarcastic dig at the Modi government and the Prime Minister. But you have to read the history of your ancestors who ruled this country. Nowadays, people who eat the Constitution are roaming around with copies of the Constitution as if they are the guardians of the Constitution. But a devourer of the Constitution can never be its protector.
He said that Congress made the provision of Article 356 in the Constitution for its convenience. Bhimrao Ambedkar named Article 356 as a co-partner of the Constitution. That means it should be used only in special circumstances. However, the history of Congress is that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru used Article 356 7 times, Indira Gandhi 51 times, Rajiv Gandhi 6 times, PV Narasimha Rao 11 times and Manmohan Singh’s government 12 times. Article 356 was used to overthrow democratically elected governments and impose President’s rule in states. Congress has done the work of tarnishing the soul of the Constitution.
