Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi And Ghulam Nabi Azad, protest in front of the Gandhi statue inside the Parliament premises over Ananth Kumar Hegde's comments on the constitution. Hegde has since apologised.

This is what Hegde said: "Regarding the deadlock in Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha due to my statement, I want to assure my friends that the Constitution is supreme to me, Parliament is supreme to me.

I deeply respect the Constitution, the Parliament & Babasaheb Ambedkar. The Constitution is supreme for me, there can be no question on it, as a citizen I can never go against it."
