"The worst thing about the Constitution of India is that there is nothing Indian about it. Manusmriti is that scripture which is most worshippable after Vedas for our Hindu nation and from which our ancient times have become the basis for our culture, customs, thought and practice. This book, for centuries, has codified the spiritual and divine march of our nation. Today, Manusmiriti is law." These are the words of Savarkar," Rahul Gandhi said.

“Savarkar clearly stated in his writings there is nothing Indian about our constitution,” Gandhi said.
