Congress president Sonia Gandhi says it took three years to write the Constitution. There were serious debates on it and the Constitution Committee was guided by four eminent personalities at all levels -- Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Rajendra Prasad and Maulana Azad. When Dr Ambedkar was chosen to head the committee he asked, 'why me, when there are people better qualified to lead?' But he was still chosen to head the committed. That's where the Congress Party's discipline comes in."

Cheers in the opposition benches, and Sonia Gandhi smiles acknowledging the barb at the BJP. Rajnath Singh smiles.


"Constitution is result of decades of struggle. Mahatma Gandhi made a huge contribution in this struggle After serious debates the Constitution was written and I can say that the history of the Constitution is closely linked to the Congress," Sonia adds amid renewed cheers from her party MPs. Even PM Modi breaks into a smile.
