Rahul Gandhi Criticises BJP, Frames Constitution vs Manusmriti Debate in Lok Sabha

During a Lok Sabha debate marking 75 years of the Constitution’s adoption, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticised the BJP-led government, contrasting constitutional values with the Manusmriti, a Hindu religious text. He invoked Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar, alleging that Savarkar deemed the Constitution un-Indian and favoured Manusmriti as the nation's guide.
