👍 Prof. Baxi was one of the few people who were able to express contrarian views before Indira Gandhi.

Sir, I cannot help but be partly amused by Mrs Gandhis response at Professor Baxi’s suggestion to follow the constitution 😄 . One would expect there are no two ways about that. Thanks for sharing!

After watching this, I am inclined to believe the 42nd Amendment Act was certainly driven by some degree of vendetta for Mrs Gandhi.
