Cong must say ‘Save Constitution’ each day to realise their past mistakes: PM Modi

New: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Congress saying that it should say ‘Save the Constitution’ more often to realise their past mistakes.

The Prime Minister was replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in the Lok Sabha.
“There has been the talk of ‘Save Constitution’. I agree Congress should say this 100 times in a day. Maybe they will realise their past mistakes. Did you forget this slogan during the emergency? When state governments were dismissed? When cabinet resolutions were torn?” Modi said.
