The special session of the Haryana Assembly to mark the Constitution Day witnessed a brief ruckus on Tuesday when Congress MLA Kiran Choudhary referred to the political developments in Maharashtra as a "sad travesty".
During her speech in the House, Choudhary said everyone could see what was happening in Maharashtra.
"Everyone can see what is happening in Maharashtra. It is something we have been reading for the past more than 10 days. It is a sad travesty that when constitutional heads bend backwards to please their political masters and thus, they subvert the Constitution," she said.
As soon as the Tosham MLA had said this, state Home Minister Anil Vij got up and said that during the period when President's rule was imposed in Maharashtra, Congress and Shiv Sena had got enough time to stake claim if they wanted.
Attacking the Congress, Vij said, "On June 25, 1975, Indira Gandhi trampled the Constitution, but why don't they talk about that? People were sent behind bars, why don't you make a mention of that?"
