‘Inspired By Manusmriti’: Congress Slams RSS For Call To Review ‘Socialist’, ‘Secular’ In Preamble

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh launched a sharp attack on the RSS, alleging it has never accepted the Indian Constitution and has consistently criticised its framers. Responding to RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale’s remarks on the Emergency, Ramesh accused the BJP of wanting to change the Constitution, citing BJP’s ‘400 paar’ slogan. He claimed the RSS once criticised the Constitution ‘for not being based on Manusmriti.’ Ramesh also urged RSS leaders to read the Supreme Court judgment from November 25, 2024, that rejected petitions challenging the 42nd Constitutional Amendment, which had inserted the words “Socialist” and “Secular” into the Preamble. Hosabale had questioned the inclusion of ‘socialist’ and ‘secular’ in the Preamble.#jairamramesh #rss #indianconstitution #dattatreyahosabale #emergency #bjp #400paar #constitutionamendment #socialistsecular #preamble #manusmriti #supremecourt #42ndamendment #politicaldebate #indiandemocracy #congress #hosabale #constitutionalrights #toi #toibharat
