On India’s 76th Constitution Day, a debate at Samvidhan Sadan explores the state of the nation’s constitutional democracy, featuring insights from Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi, BJP MP Mahesh Jethmalani, and senior advocate Harish Salve. The discussion addresses claims from opposition leader Rahul Gandhi of an ‘assault’ on the Constitution, a charge countered by statements from the President and Prime Minister. Key topics include the erosion of institutional pillars like the Election Commission, the powers of the Enforcement Directorate, and the status of secularism, federalism, minority rights, and individual liberties. Abhishek Manu Singhvi argues that the constitution is designed to be ‘anti-majoritarian,’ while Harish Salve calls a Supreme Court judgment upholding certain ‘draconian powers’ of the Enforcement Directorate a ‘disaster.’ The program presents contrasting views, with Jethmalani asserting that India’s democracy is robust, while Salve references the 1975 Emergency as a reminder for continued vigilance.
