A war of words erupted between the Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress after Rahul Gandhi invoked VD Savarkar to attack the saffron party during the debate in the Lok Sabha on 75 years of the adoption of the Constitution.
Citing V D Savarkar's remarks that there was nothing Indian about the Constitution, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi slammed the BJP and said that by talking of protecting the Constitution, the ruling party is 'ridiculing' Savarkar.
Rahul Gandhi also alleged that Savarkar, who is seen as an ideologue of the BJP and RSS, preferred the Hindu religious text 'Manusmriti' to it.
