Torn between having to pick either Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaking in Rajya Sabha or Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi speaking in Lok Sabha simultaneously, television channels chose to telecast both. However, while Modi's audio feed filled speakers, Rahul was kept on mute.

"Constitution should be a celebration and the message of the Constitution must reach the future generations. There were apprehensions on whether the process of creating Constitution would be successful," Modi said in Rajya Sabha while concluding the Constitution debate in the Upper House.

We couldn't quite hear what Rahul said. But from what we gathered scanning Twitter feeds, the Congress vice-president said, "While I heard the PM I could see how profoundly we differ in our thinking. Our heroes of the past, heard India's voice. Gave India the dignity to talk. India then didn't talk but sang,. The millions of voices of the nation, everyone including the weakest were loved with sensitivity

Attacking the Modi government over score of issues, Rahul said, "Everyone in this room swore to protect rights of our people. Where is VK Singh? A general who compared Dalit children to dogs. He has directly challenged the constitution by equating Dalit children with dogs. Our PM has let a man like that (VK Singh) continue as a Minister."

The statement led to massive uproar in the Parliament.

Touching upon the intolerance issue, Rahul, while addressing the Lok Sabha, said, "Today in India, protest is considered sedition. Arun Shourie ji ne Modi ji ko thoda criticise kiya aur aapke trollers ne aapke hi aadmi pe aakraman kar diya. Arun Jaitley ji said protests were manufactured. Arun ji this isn't a dream like your Make In India, this is reality."

After his speech in Lok Sabha was over, Rahul took to his official Twitter handle and hit out at PM Modi again, "Will he simply place the constitution on an elephant & walk in front of it? Or will he do his job and defend what it stands for?"

In another tweet Rahul said:

The timing of the two speeches provided sufficient fodder for newspeople and satirists: That Rahul picked the worst possible moment to address the Lok Sabha.
