The Congress on Sunday sent a copy of the Constitution to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of the 71st Republic Day. “When you get time off from dividing the country, please do read it,” the party tweeted along with a screenshot of an Amazon receipt that stated that the book was being dispatched to the Central Secretariat.
The party alleged that the government has been subverting the Constitution. It said the Bharatiya Janata Party has failed to understand that all people, irrespective of creed, caste or gender, are guaranteed equality before the law under Article 14 of the Constitution. “It is this article that is completely violated by the government’s Citizenship Amendment Act,” the party said.
Is Congress a strong opposition against BJP?
Congress, the party of Nehru, may have ruled for ages but the rule is over. BJP holds majority in the Parliament. However, there are chances of Congress claiming the rule again. But the party will have to be careful and meticulous in their approach and not only stick to the status quo.
