Indian Parliament Opens Debate on Constitution’s 75th Anniversary Amid Political Tensions

The two-day discussion in the Lok Sabha begins against a backdrop of weeks-long parliamentary gridlock and opposition demands for accountability on key issues.

The Lok Sabha has commenced a two-day debate to commemorate 75 years since the adoption of the Indian Constitution, with Prime Minister Modi expected to deliver concluding remarks on Saturday.
The parliamentary session has been marred by repeated adjournments and confrontations between the ruling BJP and the Congress over allegations involving Adani and George Soros.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh launched the debate, while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is expected to focus on the Adani controversy, potentially straining ties with opposition allies.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is set to make her debut speech in the Lok Sabha during this session, marking a significant moment for the Congress party.
Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have issued strict attendance directives to their members, with the Rajya Sabha scheduled to hold its debate on December 16 and 17.
