Nirmala: Congress promoted 'parivarvad'; Kharge says Modi, BJP twisting facts

IndiaTimes Monday, 16 December 2024 ()
Rajya Sabha witnessed a fiery start to the two-day-long discussion to mark 75 years of Constitution with FM Nirmala Sitharaman launching a scathing attack on Congress for carrying out major amendments to the statute over the decades with the sole aim to help "one family" and promote "parivarvad" (dynasty). Mallikarjun Kharge accused PM Modi and BJP of "misleading the country" by "twisting facts" and speaking "untruths" about first PM Nehru in Parliament. He demanded that the PM apologise for "distorting facts" about Nehru's letter on reservation to states.
