Samvidhan showdown in LS: BJP reminds LoP Rahul of 1975 Emergency to blunt Congress attack

Following Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi's volley of charges, BJP MP Anurag Thakur hit back at the Congress by reminding it of the 'past misdeeds' during late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's regime.

The BJP MP also taunted LoP Gandhi over flaunting a copy of the Constitution and claimed that the latter himself remains uninformed and clueless about the nitty-gritty of the sacred book.

"There are some who carry the Samvidhan (Constitution) in their pockets but can't tell the numbers of pages," he said in a searing jibe at the LoP.
