Government Script, Full Of Lies: Opposition Leaders On President's Address

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra said the BJP has not realised yet that it does not have a majority on its own.

Opposition leaders on Thursday dismissed the President's address to the joint sitting of Parliament as a "script given by the government" that was "full of lies" and also castigated the government over the repeated mention of the 1975 Emergency.

They said there is an "undeclared emergency" in the country and the Constitution is being attacked under the Modi government.

In her address, President Droupadi Murmu described the imposition of Emergency in 1975 as the "biggest and darkest chapter" of a direct attack on the Constitution and said the country emerged victorious over unconstitutional forces.
