Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday targeted the opposition parties at a special program organized in Parliament on the occasion of Constitution Day. Targeting the political parties who were absent from the program, Modi said that India is now heading towards a crisis, which is a matter of great concern for those who believe in the Constitution.
