Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched an attack on the Congress for imposing Emergency when the party was about to lose politically. Replying to the debate on the Constitution in parliament, PM Modi said the Congress “will never be able to erase the taint of Emergency.”

“I expected a good debate on the Constitution, but some decided to grieve their losses,” PM Modi said in a swipe at the Opposition.

“We are completing 75 years of the Constitution. If we look back, when India’s Constitution completed 25 years, it was snatched using Emergency and India was turned into a prison and the rights of citizens were snatched. The Congress can’t wipe off this sin. Whenever a discussion on the Constitution takes place, we will always talk about the Emergency,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi said former prime minister and Congress leader Indira Gandhi did not believe in the Constitution.

“Even Indira Gandhi’s election was declared null and void. Then she invoked Emergency in rage to save her chair. She misused the Constitution,” he said.

“It was a time of injustice. Hundreds of people were thrown into jails. The insensitive government did not listen to people,” PM Modi said.

He said her son Rajiv Gandhi destroyed the Supreme Court victory of Shah Bano for the sake of vote bank.

“Instead of helping a woman who was fighting for justice, he supported bad people. Nehru ji started it, Indira ji took it forward, then Rajiv Gandhi also got a taste. The next generation will be the same,” PM Modi said.

He also attacked the National Advisory Council (NAC) of the then UPA government, which PM Modi said comprised unelected members advising the Prime Minister.

1. It is time to celebrate 75 years of Constitution. I am glad parliament is also part of it.
2. For all of us, for all citizens and for all democracy-loving citizens across the world, this is a moment of great pride.
3. India’s democracy has been inspirational for the world, that’s why we are the mother of democracy.
4. In our constituent assembly, there were 15 women, and through debate they empowered the discussions, their insights were impactful. It’s a matter of pride for us.
5. Many countries became democratic but women were not given rights; our nation gave them from the beginning. We are seeing that women are at the epicentre of every government scheme.
6. It’s sad that after Independence, core values of unity were attacked. Instead of celebrating diversity, some began sowing seeds of poison.
7. It is a pride to see a President who is a woman and from the tribal community. Women participate in every sector, and their contribution has been a matter of pride. Every Indian appreciates their contribution, and the inspiration is our Constitution.
8. The makers of the Constitution were sensitive to India’s unity and were aware of it. BR Ambedkar had said, ‘The problem is how to unify the diverse population of India and bring them together to take decision in unison’
9. If you will see our policies in the last 10 years, Article 370 hindered India’s unity and it was our priority to remove it. Unity was our priority.
10. If we have to move forward and if we want FDI, then we have to provide a conducive environment. GST provided economic unity and even the previous government contributed to it. One Nation One Tax is our goal.
