New Delhi:
Union home minister Amit Shah today argued that if the Congress could change the constitution 77 times and even introduce a clause that curtails freedom of expression, they cannot object to the One Nation One Election Bill on the ground that it would require constitutional amendment.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha where the bill for the flagship project was introduced, Mr Shah said, “Another amendment was brought by Indira Gandhi which gave Parliament the power to curtail the fundamental rights of the citizens”.
Then mentioning Article 19A, he questioned why it was brought in. “To curtail the freedom of expression,” he added amid loud protest from Congress members.
