RAEBARELI/ALLAHABAD: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday recalled supersession of three senior SC judges who had, through the verdict in the Keshavananda Bharathi case in 1973, ruled that while a government can amend the fundamental rights, it cannot change the basic structure and nature of the Constitution. Bharathi, chief of Edneer mutt in Kerala, had challenged the amendment in Article 26 of the Constitution which ensures freedom to manage religious affairs.Later, Modi also cited the example of Justice HR Khanna who, he said, had incurred Congress's displeasure for holding that right to life and personal liberty could not be suspended during Emergency. Khanna, too, was superseded during the Congress regime when Justice MH Beg was appointed CJI in 1977. The PM also referred to the Congress move to bring impeachment motion against ex-CJI Dipak Misra and said that the party's present was just as dark as its past.Speaking in Rae Bareli, Modi hit out at Congress, accusing it of showing disrespect to SC while making "malicious attempts" to put a blot on his personal image."Congress does not believe in the apex court and does not want to strengthen the Army. Why is there clapping in Pakistan when some people speak against our government? Some people feel embarrassed in chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'," said a combative Modi.The PM flagged off the 900th coach at Rae Bareli Coach Factory and dedicated to the nation the 133-km-long national highway connecting Rae Bareli with Banda.Accusing Congress of getting restless because of the transparency ensured in various defence transactions during his regime, Modi referred to the Bofors controversy, saying: "There was no Quattrocchi 'Mama'.""Since Independence, Congress has roped in one or the other ' Quattrocchi Mama ' or 'chacha' in every defence deal," he said. Accusing Congress of wheeling out 'lies after lies', Modi said: "Lord Ram too said some people only believed in lies and chewed on lies." "It is the same Congress which is now trying to save Christian Michel who was recently extradited from UAE in the controversial AgustaWestland deal," the PM said.Full report on www.toi.in
