The debate saw intense political attacks between the ruling BJP and Opposition, both accusing each other of undermining the Constitution.
The debate shifted focus from the Constitution's principles to political attacks.
Rahul Gandhi linked the BJP and Modi to disloyalty to the Constitution, while Modi targeted Gandhi’s family, especially Jawaharlal Nehru, accusing them of harming the Constitution.
Both sides selectively used historical facts and past actions to accuse each other of undermining the Constitution
The Constitution is a living document that must evolve, and excessive focus on past mistakes, like the Emergency, is unproductive.
Despite past challenges, the Constitution remains a foundation for a secular, pluralistic, and progressive nation.
Both BJP and Congress accused each other of dividing the country, lacking self-reflection.
The debate missed addressing how to adapt the Constitution to modern challenges and future needs.
The focus should have been on how to unify the nation, rather than political bickering.
