CONG GUILTY OF 'DILUTING CONSTITUTION'

Kiren Rijiju also takes a jibe at Priyanka saying she is a newly-elected MP

- 

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday criticised Congress on the lines of recent remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Lok Sabha. He accused the Congress of "diluting" the provisions of the Constitution to suit its interests. The important provisions of the constitution were amended to suit and protect the Congress family, the Union Minister added.

"PM Modi has very eloquently explained that over the last 75 years and during the close to six decades of Congress rule, how provisions of the Constitution were diluted, amended and changed to suit the Congress interests, basically the family which is known as the first family of the Congress party. The important provisions of the constitution were amended to suit and protect the Congress family. That is what the PM has said and it is something on which the PM has not given his opinion, he has stated the fact," Rijiju said.
