PM, Home Minister subverting constitutional principles: Jairam Ramesh

New Delhi, Nov 26: Taking a swipe at the RSS-BJP on Constitution Day, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday alleged that the Sangh's role was to attack and undermine it, and that role had been taken forward by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah "who have been subverting constitutional principles in a calculated manner".

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the RSS "had no role whatsoever" in the making of the Constitution "On Saturday, November 26 1949, the Constituent Assembly met at 10 AM with Rajendra Prasad in the chair.

Before formally putting the motion for the adoption of the draft Constitution of India that had been moved by Ambedkar the previous day to the vote, Rajendra Prasad made his remarks," Ramesh recalled.
