NEW DELHI: The Congress never respected the Constitution and five generations of leaders tried to insult and undermine the sacred document for political gain and appeasement politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday, lashing out at the biggest Opposition party for what he called the indelible sin of imposing the Emergency and damaging constitutional freedoms.
Closing the two-day special debate in the Lok Sabha marking 75 years of the Constitution, Modi also drew a contrast between constitutional amendments brought by the BJP and the Congress, claimed the opposition party was historically against reservations, hailed the achievements of his government, stressed his welfare outreach was guided by the Constitution, and read out 11 pledges to make India a developed nation by 2047, the centenary of Independence.
