"Constitution came under threat just once, when Emergency was invoked": Sanjay Jha hits back at Rahul Gandhi remarks
Patna (Bihar) [India], December 6 (ANI): Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Jha on Saturday took a dig at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his "Constitution under threat" remarks, saying that the Constitution came under threat "just once, when Emergency was invoked" during the Congress rule.
Speaking to ANI, the JD(U) National Working President said, "He said the same even during 2024 elections. He was spreading lies. PM Modi has been the Prime Minister for 11 years now...Which Constitution came under threat? He came to Bihar for Yatra on SIR. Did even one complain come from Bihar when such a large election was done here. Spreading lies is his job...Constitution came under threat just once, when Emergency was invoked during Congress rule."
Speaking to reporters, the Congress leader said, "Ambedkar ji is an icon. He showed a path to the entire country, he gave us the Constitution. So, we remember him and protect his ideas and the Constitution...The Constitution of every Indian is under threat. We protect it, the citizens protect it."
"Humble tributes to Babasaheb Ambedkar on his Mahaparinirvan Diwas. His timeless legacy of equality, justice and human dignity strengthens my resolve to defend the Constitution and inspires our collective struggle for a more inclusive, compassionate India," he wrote.
