New Delhi:
One of key constituent in the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) – Shiv Sena today demanded the removal of two vital words ‘Secular’ and ‘Socialist’ from Constitution.
A controversy was erupted after a Republic Day advertisement issued by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry carried a picture of the Preamble to the Constitution as it appeared before the 42nd Amendment, without the words ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said, "If printing old preamble is by mistake then it should happen regularly. India is never a secular country. It is a Hindu rashtra."
"These words were never there in the preamble. Government should remove these words from the preamble now," the senior Sena leader had demanded in Mumbai.
