West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday (June 18, 2025) criticised the BJP-led Union government’s decision to observe June 25 as ‘Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas’, calling it a mockery of democracy and the constitution.
She also accused the saffron party of consistently attacking democratic institutions and undermining the very Constitution it now claims to uphold.

Those who don't respect the Constitution are now talking about upholding its morality. It is a mockery.”
