External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has launched a scathing critique of the Congress party and its leader, Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of hypocrisy in their stance on constitutional values. In a recent statement, Jaishankar highlighted the Congress’s failure to apologize for the Emergency period, a time he described as a significant suppression of national spirit. He argued that while the Congress party often showcases the Constitution, it fails to honor its true essence. The Emergency, imposed in 1975, is often cited as a period when democratic rights were curtailed, and Jaishankar’s remarks aim to remind the public of this controversial chapter in India’s history. By focusing on this issue, Jaishankar seeks to question the Congress’s commitment to democratic principles and challenge its moral authority on constitutional matters. His comments are part of a broader political strategy to hold the Congress accountable for past actions while emphasizing the importance of genuine respect for constitutional values in contemporary politics. This criticism comes at a time when political accountability and historical legacy are increasingly becoming focal points in Indian political discourse. Jaishankar’s remarks are likely to intensify the ongoing debate about political responsibility and the interpretation of constitutional values in India.
