Constitution review 'unconstitutional'

LUCKNOW, APRIL 20. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) today termed review of the Constitution undertaken by the NDA government as `unconstitutional' and said there was no provision for it in the statute.The constitutional review committee set up by the government was `unconstitutional' as Parliament's consent had not been taken for the purpose, BSP vice-president Mayawati said while leading a dharna of party workers at the collectorate.

``Although there is a provision for amendment in the Constitution there is no provision for its review. Therefore, the exercise undertaken by the BJP-led NDA government is unconstitutional'', she said.

The BSP organised State-wide dharnas at all district headquarters.
