Jai Samvidhan: What all did Priyanka Gandhi Say?

Wondering over whether one cannot say 'Jai Samvidhan' in Parliament, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "People from the ruling party were not stopped when they raised unparliamentary and unconstitutional slogans in Parliament, but when the opposition MPs raised 'Jai Samvidhan' slogans, they were objected to," she said in a post on X.

"The anti-Constitution sentiment that emerged during the elections has now taken a new form, which seeks to weaken our Constitution," Ms Gandhi said.

"Will the Constitution, on the basis of which Parliament functions, on which every member takes oath, which gives protection of life and livelihood, be opposed to suppress the voice of the opposition?" the Congress general secretary asked.
