With the nation is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Indian Constitution, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched a scathing attack at the BJP government yet again with reference to Article 370. Taking to Twitter, Owaisi posted a series of tweets, hitting out at the government for celebrating the Constitution Day even after breaching constitutional obligations. Owaisi had earlier participated in a debate on the Jammu and Kashmir reorganisation bill, and had called abrogation of Article 370 as "third historic mistake".

As @BJP4India celebrates #ConstitutionDay, all one can say is: der aaye, durust aaye. Constitution isn’t a symbol that requires empty celebrations - it requires adherence to constitutionalism
A government that routinely misuses Article 356 & breaches India’s constitutional obligation under Article 370 cannot celebrate #ConstitutionDay knowing full well that federalism is part of the basic structure of the constitution.

Assailing the Modi government further, Owaisi stated that If BJP is celebrating the Constitution today, why do they attack for the rest of the year.
The Constitution of India limits the tyrannical powers of any government.

Constitution is about the rule of law, it is antithetical to rule of man
If BJP is celebrating the Constitution today, why do they keep attacking it for the rest of the year?
