Criticising PM Narendra Modi's speech on the 79th Independence Day, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "PM’s speech from the ramparts of Red Fort...was stale, hypocritical, insipid, and troubling." "The most troubling element of the PM’s speech...was his name-checking of...RSS from...ramparts of...Red Fort, a blatant breach of the spirit of a constitutional, secular republic," Ramesh added.
