Indian Finance Minister criticizes Congress for constitutional amendments aimed at power, not democracy.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized the Congress party for making constitutional amendments to protect their family and power, rather than to strengthen democracy. She highlighted historical examples, such as the 1951 amendment that curbed freedom of speech, and accused the party of not passing the Women's Reservation Bill. Sitharaman praised the Constitution's resilience over 75 years, emphasizing the BJP's commitment to women's reservation. The debate will continue in the Rajya Sabha.
