Rahul Gandhi, in a Lok Sabha debate, criticized Hindutva ideologue Savarkar’s belief that the Constitution should be replaced by the Manusmriti. He accused the BJP of undermining the Constitution, sharing Savarkar’s remarks that called it "un-Indian." In response, BJP minister Kiren Rijiju shared a letter from Indira Gandhi, praising Savarkar as a "remarkable son of India." Gandhi also accused the BJP of stifling the youth's aspirations and aiding business tycoons like Adani. BJP MP Anurag Thakur hit back, citing the Constitution's role in ending the Emergency.
