Home Minister Amit Shah strongly criticized the Opposition in a recent Rajya Sabha debate about India’s Constitution. He accused the Congress party of pleasing minorities, being corrupt, and favoring family rule. He claimed that past Congress-led governments adjusted the Constitution for their own benefit.
Shah expressed his party’s commitment to the Hindutva ideology, promising to implement the Uniform Civil Code nationwide. He also mentioned big projects like the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the Kashi Vishwanath corridor.
In his speech, Shah pointed out that there have been 22 amendments to the Constitution under BJP rule, compared to 77 amendments under Congress. He recalled historical amendments that he said restricted citizens’ freedoms, like those made during Indira Gandhi’s time. He mentioned how the 42nd amendment even limited judicial review, allowing Parliament to change Fundamental Rights.
Shah defended the BJP’s constitutional changes, saying these amendments help strengthen democracy, such as introducing the Goods and Services Tax and reserving seats for women in government.
He attacked the Congress for its history of dynasty politics and its inconsistencies, accusing it of pretending to support reservations for certain groups while opposing them in the past. He asserted that the BJP will not allow religious reservations in the states where it holds power.
Shah also pushed for the Uniform Civil Code, questioning why only some laws for Muslims are being implemented and suggesting that all personal laws should be considered.
In his closing remarks, he highlighted achievements of the Modi government, like building the Ram temple and abrogating Article 370, while also defending Veer Savarkar and citing how Indira Gandhi praised him.
