THE much-anticipated debate to commemorate the 75th year of the Constitution kicked off on Friday with the ruling BJP-led NDA and Opposition INDIA bloc sparring over Constitutional values, its relevance and key political issues.
Initiating the debate in the Lok Sabha, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh attacked the Congress saying a particular party always tried to hijack and appropriate the framing of the Constitution.

The BJP has never compromised the independence and autonomy of institutions and always adhered to the Constitution, Rajnath said.
