'Secularism goes against Indian idea': Assam CM Himanta Biswa backs RSS call to remove words from Constitution; adds 'socialism never our vision'

IndiaTimes Saturday, 28 June 2025 ()
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma advocated for removing "secularism" and "socialism" from the Constitution's Preamble, echoing RSS's suggestion. He believes these terms, added during the Emergency, contradict India's principles of Sarva Dharma Sambhava and its economic vision. Sarma urged the government to eliminate these words, viewing them as legacies of the Emergency that Prime Minister Modi is working to erase.
