"I have heard the speeches of all the opposition members. They only spread untruth, misleading and false narratives," he alleged.

The BJP MP said the Congress talks about protecting the Constitution but in fact, it was the opposition party that had changed the Preamble to the Constitution when it was in power.

He added that the Modi government has changed the Constitution, but only to abrogate the provisions of Article 370 and to protect the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Other Backward Classes (OBC).
