“PM Modi Lied About Constitution”: Kharge’s Furious Response Sparks Opposition Walkout

The Lok Sabha witnessed a heated exchange on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, as the Opposition walked out in protest after Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “lying about the Constitution.”

The drama unfolded during a debate on the no-confidence motion against the Modi government. Kharge, in his fiery speech, slammed the Prime Minister for his remarks about the Constitution, claiming that Modi’s statement “was a complete lie.”

What sparked the outrage?

PM Modi had earlier stated that “the Constitution was never meant to be a tool for political opportunism.” Kharge took offense to this statement, arguing that the Prime Minister was distorting the spirit of the Constitution and using it to attack the Opposition.

“The Prime Minister is trying to stifle dissent and undermine the very foundation of our democracy,” Kharge declared, fueling further anger among the Opposition ranks.

A united front against Modi’s “attacks”?

The Opposition’s walkout, a unified act of defiance, was a clear message of their displeasure towards the PM’s remarks and the government’s perceived disregard for democratic principles.

The walkout, a symbolic act of protest, highlights several key points:

• The Opposition’s united front: The walkout signifies a growing sense of unity among opposition parties against the ruling BJP.

• The fight for democratic values: The protest underlines the importance of protecting the Constitution and upholding democratic values in the face of perceived attacks by the government.

• The no-confidence motion: The walkout adds further fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the no-confidence motion and the government’s performance.

The future of the debate:

The walkout has undoubtedly raised the political temperature in Parliament. It remains to be seen how the no-confidence motion will progress and whether the Opposition’s unified stand will translate into tangible political gains.
