'Secular' and 'socialist' will remain in Preamble: Government

IndiaTimes Thursday, 24 July 2025 ()
The government has clarified that it has no intention to remove "socialist" and "secular" from the Constitution's preamble, despite ongoing debates. Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal stated that no formal legal or constitutional process has been initiated. This position contrasts with the RSS's call to remove the terms, which were added during the Emergency, a stance also supported by former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.
