New Delhi/IBNS: The Congress party sent a copy of Constitution to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 71st Republic day launching a fresh attack on him on the issue of Citizenship Amendment Act(CAA) and the proposed countrywide National Register of Citizens(NRC).

"Dear PM, The Constitution is reaching you soon. When you get time off from dividing the country, please do read it. Regards, Congress," the party tweeted.

The dig encapsulates the opposition's allegation of the BJP-led government violating the Constitution with CAA.

A copy of the Amazon receipt showing the address of Central Secretariat was attached with the tweet.

Dear PM,

The Constitution is reaching you soon. When you get time off from dividing the country, please do read it.

Regards,
Congress. pic.twitter.com/zSh957wHSj

The Congress also tweeted passages from the Constitution in a bid to prove its argument against CAA.

A lesson the BJP has failed to understand is that all persons no matter creed, caste or gender are guaranteed equality before the law under Article 14 of the Constitution. It is this article that is completely violated by the govt's Citizenship Amendment Act. #RepublicDay pic.twitter.com/54k31I4DZy

It is important to remember that it is enshrined in our Constitution that all persons are protected from discrimination of any form. Therefore, any attempt to draft laws based on discrimination are unconstitutional. #RepublicDay pic.twitter.com/njlDcorfeI

The violent clampdown on peaceful protests, the systematic breakdown & manipulation of the media & the undemocratic arrest or detention of persons criticising the govt are all symptomatic of BJP's unconstitutional behaviour. #RepublicDay pic.twitter.com/bxq7TWFuOJ

Congress also tweeted a video of a CAA protest demonstration organised at the Rajghat recently, in which several senior Congress leaders including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rahul Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi can be seen reading the Preamble to the Constitution.
