New Delhi, Dec 17 (UNI) The Opposition INDIA bloc members in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday slammed the ruling BJP and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government of undermining the Constitution, misusing investigative agencies and stoking communal tensions.
“…The Constitution has several parts to it and the whole is greater than some of its parts. If I was to go on every single part of the Constitution, we would see how this government has systematically weakened every single part of India’s Constitution and undermined the Constitution at every single given point of time,” said Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi while participating in the debate on journey of 75 years of Constitution of India.
During his speech, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh alleged that the BJP is not respecting the rights of the Dalit and backward classes.
Singh also said that while the Opposition has the INDIA grouping, the ruling party has Enforcement Directorate (ED) on their side.
Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Mahua Maji accused the BJP leaders of stoking communal tensions in Jharkhand during the recent assembly election and also targeted the Modi government for Hemant Soren’s arrest by the ED.
TMC leader Sagarika Ghose slammed BJP for ‘majoritarism’ and said that in a democracy citizens should be sovereign.
