Amit Shah's Pic Holding Constitution In Red Colour: Assam Chief Minister Poked To 'Ask His Boss To Verify It'

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi asking him if he was carrying the Chinese constitution, pointing out the red cover in the constitution held by the Congress MP in one of his pictures. The BJP leader also shared the Image of Rahul Gandhi with the red-covered constitution in his hand.

Interestingly, hours later, fact-checker Muhammed Zubair came up with an image of the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, with a red-covered constitution in his hand. The Alt News co-founder, sharing the image of the Home Minister, asked Himanta Sarma to “please ask your boss Amit Shah to verify it.”

“Hello @himantabiswa, please ask your boss @AmitShah to verify it. Even Amit Shah was presented with a copy of the Constitution of India (Coat Pocket edition) by team @ebcindia @scconline_,” Zubai wrote in his post on X (formerly Twitter).

Taking to his social media platform, the Assam Chief Minister had asked that the constitution Rahul Gandhi carried in his hand need to be verified, expressing his doubt whether the constitution was of China. 

 “The original copy of the Constitution of India has a blue cover. The original Chinese constitution has a red cover. Does Rahul carry a Chinese Constitution? We will need to verify,” he wrote in a post on X.

Addressing a press conference later, the Chief Minister further said that the original Constitution of India has Ram and Krishna”s photo on every page. Himanta Sarma then said that the Constitution that Rahul Gandhi carries is red colour, and it cannot be “red” because “India was not built through a revolution.” 

“It was built through civilisation. China”s Constitution can be red,” the chief minister added.
