Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the word secular which was added in the preamble of the Constitution during the emergency should be removed. His statement came after RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's statement regarding the words 'socialist' and 'secular' in the Constitution. Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that "Sarvadharma Sambhaav" is the core of Indian culture and secularism is not the core of our culture."
Shivraj Singh Chouhan further said that "Therefore, there must be a consideration on removing the word secular which was added during the emergency." He further said that "Consider everyone like yourself, this is the core idea of India, hence there is no need for socialism."
What Rahul said
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that the mask of the Sangh has come off again and it does not want the Constitution, but Manusmriti.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi posted on 'X' and said that the mask of RSS has come off again. The Constitution hurts them because it talks about equality, secularism and justice. RSS-BJP does not want the Constitution, they want Manusmriti. They want to make the Bahujans and the poor slaves again by snatching their rights. Their real agenda is to snatch away a powerful weapon like the Constitution from them. RSS should stop dreaming - we will never let them succeed.
