This excerpt from TVR Shenoy's latest opinion piece sums up the UPA's 'constitutionalism'. And the national media went to sleep because the mischeif maker is Congress, their own darling imp:

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is old enough to recall why January 26 is something more than just another holiday. It is the day we adopted our own Constitution. It is also the day we snapped all links to an alien crown, replacing a governor-general with a president — Dr Rajendra Prasad. This Republic Day, a man whose action was condemned as “unconstitutional” by the apex court, took the salute in Dr Rajendra Prasad’s home state, at a place named after the Father of the Nation.

Be honest with India, Mr Prime Minister, were these really reasons to celebrate Republic Day?
