Senior Advocate and Congress Rajya Sabha MP Vivek Tankha discusses the controversy surrounding the seating of Leaders of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge during the Republic Day parade. Speaking to India Today, Tankha stated, "The Constitution feels humiliated if you don’t treat your institutions well," emphasizing that constitutional positions deserve dignity regardless of party affiliation. He addressed the Congress party’s focus on the Constitution, asserting that while state elections focus on local issues, the narrative of institutional devaluation will resonate in the 2029 general elections. Tankha also reflected on his family’s judicial legacy during the Emergency, citing the ADM Jabalpur case to highlight liberal values. He criticized the government’s use of the National Security Act against activists like Sonam Wangchuk, arguing it insults Articles 21 and 22. Ultimately, he maintained that the opposition currently acts as the guardian of democracy against a ruling party agenda that he claims challenges the spirit of the Constitution.
