Congress disrespected Constitution in letter and spirit: Sudhanshu Trivedi
Initiating a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to The President's Address, senior BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi said the Congress is now talking about protecting the Constitution but it had always "disrespected" it in letter and spirit.
On the Congress assertion that Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot be compared with Jawahar Lal Nehru, Trivedi said he agrees that the two cannot be compared as Modi was chosen unanimously as PM candidate while Nehru was "not an unanimous choice".
Trivedi said the Opposition parties are upbeat that the BJP has lost Ayodhya and other Lok Sabha constituencies associated with Lord Ram, but in reality they too are not acknowledging the existence of Lord Ram.
His speech was repeatedly disrupted by sloganeering by opposition members and two adjournments in the House.
