Does a government have the right to amend any part of the Constitution it wishes? That is the debate sparked by former Chief Justice of India and current Rajya Sabha MP Ranjan Gogoi's remarks on the 'debatable' nature of the basic structure of the Constitution. His comments were dismissed by CJI DY Chandrachud, who called it a mere opinion. Constitutional experts and lawyers join us on NDTV and debate how sacrosanct the Constitution really is.
