Opposition raised questions on 'Constitution Murder Day', Sudhanshu Trivedi told when the Constitution was murdered during Congress rule

by


New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday hit out at the Congress and its allies for opposing the Centre's decision to observe June 25 as “Samvidhan Hatya Diwas” and said even those who fought against the Emergency are ready to be called anarchists for power. BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said ever since it was decided to observe June 25 as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas, there is a lot of pain in the hearts of those who are pretending to be protectors of the Constitution. They are questioning what is the need (to observe Samvidhan Hatya Diwas) when 50 years have passed (since the imposition of Emergency).

Sudhanshu Trivedi targeted opposition leaders

Sudhanshu Trivedi alleged that in the lust for power, AAP is even ready to label itself as anarchist. He asked Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav to clarify whether JP movement was anarchy for them too. This comment of BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi has come in response to the statement of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. In which Sanjay Raut had said that it has been 50 years since the Emergency, but the Bharatiya Janata Party keeps looking at the past instead of the future.

What did Sanjay Raut say?

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut had said that the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had imposed Emergency in 1975 because there was anarchy in the country. He said that if his counterpart Atal Bihari Vajpayee had to face such a situation in future, he would also have imposed Emergency. Raut also compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure to Emergency. RJD, a constituent of the opposition 'Bharat' alliance, on Friday criticized the Modi government for declaring June 25 as 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas' and said that with such steps, the BJP is trying to recover from the 'setback' it suffered in the Lok Sabha elections due to its efforts to 'tamper' with the Constitution.

Manoj Jha also targeted BJP

RJD MP Manoj Jha had also accused the ruling BJP of adopting double standards and demanded that the Centre declare January 30 as 'Gandhi Hatya Diwas', the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. Manoj Jha asked the ruling BJP to look in the mirror and apologise for misusing central investigative agencies against political rivals and harassing human rights activists in the country.

BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said that the government's decision to celebrate 25 June as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas was necessary to remember the dark days of the Emergency. He said that it is worth noting that the people who suffered oppression are today with the oppressors. Sudhanshu Trivedi alleged that the Constitution was murdered not only in 1975 but in all the regimes of the Congress. He said that the first amendment to the Constitution to end freedom of expression was made by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1951, when elections had not even taken place.
