Rahul's statement
Attack on Constitution by Modi government: Gandhi
The Congress leader added that Modi government's actions are an attack on the Constitution.
"The attack on the Constitution by Narendra Modi and his government is not acceptable to us...and we will not allow this to happen under any circumstances," he said.
"INDIA's strong opposition will continue its pressure, raise the voice of the people, and will not allow the Prime Minister to escape without accountability," he added.

INDIA bloc holds protest outside Parliament
Earlier in the day, opposition leaders of Congress-led Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance marched to the Lok Sabha holding copies of the Constitution in their hands.
The MPs—including the Congress's Mallikarjun Kharge and Gandhi—chanted slogans like "long live Constitution," "we will save Constitution," and "save our democracy," in the Parliament complex.
The Trinamool Congress's Sudip Bandopadhyay and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's TR Baalu were also present at the protest.
