Parliament Winter Session Live Updates: The fourth and final week of the Parliament Winter Session begins. The Rajya Sabha is having a two-day Constitution debate amid a no-confidence motion moved by opposition parties against Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. The debate, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the adoption of India’s Constitution, is led by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
A similar two-day Constitution debate happened in Lok Sabha on Friday and Saturday. In Lok Sabha, Priyanka Gandhi gave her debut speech, comparing the Constitution to a protective shield. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi cited Veer Savarkar’s criticism of the Constitution. “The worst thing about the Constitution of India is that there is nothing Indian about it,” he said, quoting Savarkar.
In return, Prime Minister Narendra Modi trained guns at the Nehru-Gandhi family of the Congress, saying they left no stone unturned to strike blows to the Constitution.
