Live Mint  

A war of words erupted between the Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress after Rahul Gandhi invoked VD Savarkar to attack the saffron party during the debate in the Lok Sabha on 75 years of the adoption of the Constitution. Citing V D Savarkar's remarks that there was nothing Indian about the Constitution, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi slammed the BJP and said that by talking of protecting the Constitution, the ruling party is 'ridiculing' Savarkar. "The Constitution is a document of modern India, but it could never have been written without ancient India and her ideas," Rahul Gandhi said. Posting a document on X, in which Indira Gandhi refered to Savarkar as a remarkable son of India, Kiren Rijiju said, “This document is for Rahul Gandhi Ji as he made an incorrect statement in Lok Sabha about Veer Savarkar. Indira Gandhi.” Another BJP leader Anurag Thakur said that last time when he asked all the opposition MPs how many pages are there in the Constitution that you carry, no MP was able to tell.
