The country is working swiftly to defame us. This kind of false campaign mode to taint and tarnish our Parliament and constitutional institutions is too serious and extraordinary to ignore or accept. No political strategy or partisan stand can justify compromising on our nationalism and democratic values.
“I will be on the wrong side of the Constitution if I observe silence on this misadventure-orchestration by a Member of Parliament outside the country, which is ill-advised and motivated. This would be a constitutional blunder and dishonor of my oath of office,” said Dhankhar.
