Launching a counter attack on the Modi government, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged on Wednesday that an undeclared emergency prevailed in the country.
LAUNCHING a counter attack on the Modi government, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged on Wednesday that an undeclared emergency prevailed in the country. He accused the BJP of staging a 'Constitution Murder Day' drama to hide its governance failure. Hitting back at PM Narendra Modi over his jibes on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, Kharge said a government which has no tolerance and does not allow fraternity and liberty to prosper has no right to lecture others.
Addressing a press conference at the Congress' Indira Bhawan, Kharge slammed the BJP-RSS and said those who "played no role in the independence of the country, in framing the Constitution, and rejected BR Ambedkar's Constitution" are raking up the Emergency, 50 years after it was imposed. The same people are now talking of saving the Constitution, he added.
