Amid BJP-Congress standoff, stage set for Constitution debate in Lok Sabha today

India Today  

The Lok Sabha is set to convene today for a two-day debate marking 75 years since the adoption of the Indian Constitution. The political standoff, primarily fuelled by allegations linking Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Adani controversy and counter-allegations involving Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's association with billionaire George Soros, has led to multiple adjournments in both Houses since November 25. In the Rajya Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will lead the BJP's response on Monday, countering the Opposition's anticipated "save the Constitution" pitch. FLORAL TRIBUTES PAID TO MARTYRS OF 2001 PARLIAMENT ATTACKS PM Modi, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Amit Shah and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, among several other leaders, paid floral tributes to the martyrs of the 2001 Parliament attacks ahead of the Constitution debate in the Lok Sabha. #WATCH | Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi, Union HM Amit Shah, Union Ministers JP Nadda, Kiren Rijiju and others pay tribute to the fallen jawans, at.
