New Delhi: Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, voiced concerns over an alleged attack on the constitution. He stated that new copies of the Constitution, distributed to politicians on the opening day of the new Parliament building, lack the words ‘socialist secular’.
On Tuesday, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, highlighted that the new copies of the Constitution, handed to them on September 19th as they entered the new Parliament building, lacked the words ‘socialist secular’ in its Preamble.
“He further expressed, ‘While we acknowledge that the words were incorporated through an amendment in 1976, presenting the Constitution without them today raises concerns.'”
He alleged, “Their intention is suspicious. The task has been executed cleverly. It is a matter of concern for me.”
Mr Chowdhury said, “I tried to raise this issue, but I did not get an opportunity to raise this issue.”
While addressing the Lok Sabha at the new Parliament complex during the special session, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury emphasized the unity of ‘India’ and ‘Bharat’ as per the Constitution of India.
“This Constitution is no less than the Gita, Quran, and Bible for us. Article 1 says, “India, that is, Bharat, shall be a Union of States…” It means that there is no difference between India and Bharat. It will be better if nobody tries to unnecessarily create a rift between the two,” he said.
The G20 dinner invite caused a stir for addressing the President as ‘Bharat’ instead of India.
Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan sparked a debate. He shared a G20 dinner invite on X, formerly Twitter. The invite described Droupadi Murmu as the ‘President of Bharat’.
