Parliament Winter Session LIVE: On the first day of the Constitution debate, Lok Sabha witnessed a slugfest between the treasury and opposition benches. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh initiated the debate and accused Congress of giving preference to power over the Constitution. Taking a jibe he said, “These days, I see that many opposition leaders keep the Constitution in their pockets. Actually, this is what they have learnt from childhood, they have seen their families keep the Constitution in their pockets for generations.” The debate also witnessed the first speech of Priyanka Gandhi in which she accused the govt of trying to break the ‘suraksha kavach’ that the Constitution provided.
