New Delhi, Nov 26 (NationPress) As the nation commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Constitution's adoption, officially recognized as ‘Samvidhan Divas’, it transformed into a battleground for political rhetoric, with the ruling BJP launching a scathing critique against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and the entire INDIA coalition, labeling them as engaging in “hypocrisy of the highest order” regarding constitutional principles.

In a pointed statement shared via their X account, the BJP highlighted that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who proclaimed November 26 as Constitution Day in 2015, initiating nationwide celebrations, a decision that Congress and its allies vehemently opposed and even boycotted in Parliament.

Anil Baluni, the BJP's chief spokesperson and Lok Sabha member from Garhwal, directed a series of incisive inquiries at Kharge and Gandhi, questioning: who was responsible for excluding Dr. BR Ambedkar from Parliament initially? Who withheld the Bharat Ratna from Baba Saheb for years while hastily awarding it to two Congress Prime Ministers? Who neglected to display Dr. Ambedkar’s portrait in the Central Hall of Parliament? Who imposed the Emergency, restricted the press, incarcerated numerous individuals without due process, and suspended fundamental rights overnight? Who enacted the 42nd Amendment that threatened the Constitution's fundamental structure? Who dismissed the maximum number of elected state governments by misusing Article 356? Who disregarded the Supreme Court’s Shah Bano ruling by passing a new law? and who, repeatedly, compromised the independence of the judiciary and the Election Commission of India?

The BJP accused Congress leaders of engaging in “petty politics” in alliance with entities undermining national interests, particularly as the Modi administration has dedicated the past 11 years to “restoring constitutional supremacy and reinforcing democratic foundations.”

“Today is not merely about reflecting on the past; it is about acknowledging our duties for the future,” the post asserted. “Before admonishing others on constitutional matters, Congress leaders should introspect and answer for the darkest chapters they authored in India’s democratic narrative,” Baluni stated.

In the meantime, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spearheaded the primary celebration at the Supreme Court, reciting the Preamble alongside judges and lawyers, reaffirming that the Constitution is the “soul of Indian democracy” and the guiding beacon for a developed India.
