The people accepted her apology and voted her and the Congress back to power with a thumping majority in 1980.
Is there no other association of the Congress in the making of the Constitution and the strengthening of the Constitution? There is, and that inspiring story is rarely told.

The Constitution is a living document that has to be adapted to the changing life of a nation.
