Uproar in Odisha House as opposition protests display of 'distorted' Preamble

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 26 November 2024
Odisha's assembly witnessed uproarious scenes as the omission of "socialist" and "secular" from the Constitution's Preamble display sparked protests. BJD and Congress members disrupted proceedings, demanding restoration following a recent Supreme Court affirmation of these words. BJP countered, stating the display showcased the original 1949 Preamble, predating the 1976 amendment, and remained unchanged under previous governments.
