In his letters to Gandhi and Kharge, Kejriwal said the Congress’s opposition to the bill the act would be “remembered for decades”. I am certain that your unflinching loyalty towards the principles of our Constitution will be remembered for decades.” In his letter to Singh, who was in Rajya Sabha in a wheelchair when the bill was passed, Kejriwal said his presence despite the constraints imposed by age and ailing health conveyed a story of calm, grace, and conviction to preserve India’s democracy and federal structure against all odds. “Your sheer presence sent a loud and clear message to all those forces working to weaken the Indian democracy that any such any such attempts will be met with fierce resistance by political leaders cutting across age and political lines,” said Kejriwal.
