The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) locked horns in the Parliament on Monday over Muslim reservation in Karnataka. Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned in the pre-lunch session without transacting any business as treasury and opposition benches sparred over the issue of reservations for Muslims in Karnataka public contracts.
Mallikarjun Kharge said, “Nobody can change the Constitution drafted by Babasaheb Ambedkar. Nobody can finish the reservation. To protect it, we did the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. They (points at NDA MPs) break India.” Union Minister Kiren Rijiju objected to it and said, “Raising the issue of Muslim reservation, Congress has sullied the prestige of Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution. If you have guts, demand the resignation of Deputy CM today itself.”
