Dhankar backs RSS call for review
-
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday termed the addition of words 'secular' and 'socialist' in the Preamble of the Constitution through an amendment during the Emergency era a "festering wound".
Dhankhar's remarks came at a book launch event in Delhi after RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabole on Thursday called for reviewing the added words, saying these were included during the Emergency and were never part of the Constitution drafted by B.R. Ambedkar.
The Vice President said the Preamble is sacrosanct and "not changeable". He further said the added words were a "sacrilege to the spirit of Sanatan".
Echoing Dhankhar's views, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also joined two union ministers—Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Jitendra Singh—to support the idea mooted by Hosabale.
Sarma claimed that 'socialism' and 'secularism' are Western concepts, and said these words should be struck off the Constitution.
