Rajnath Singh says, "We will express our commitment towards the Indian Constitution today."

Talking about the architect of the Indian Constitution, Rajnath says, "Ambedkarji had to face a lot of criticism, but he kept on presenting an objecting point of view for a unified India. Ambedkarji ne kabhi nahi socha ki mujhe apmaan jhelne ko mila hai toh main desh chhod ke kahin aur chala jaoonga. Despite facing insults, he never talked of leaving India."

Protests erupt from the Congress who raise objections to this part of the speech. The Speaker dismisses the objections, saying there is nothing wrong in what is being said.


The Congress Party's objections were in response what they believe to be a reference to Aamir Khan's recent remarks that his wife Kiran Rao was considering leaving the country over continued incidents of intolerance.   


Rajnath then talks about Sardar Patel saying he united the whole country, and gave us the vision for single Bharat. The Congress party has always accused Narendra Modi and the BJP of trying to "hijack" Sardar Patel's legacy.
