Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury alleges 'secular,' 'socialist' removed from Preamble

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury claimed on Tuesday that the new copies of the Constitution given to MPs on the opening day of the new Parliament building did not have the words "secular" and "socialist" in the Preamble, ANI reported. He reportedly expressed concern over the omission, alleging that the government made this change "cleverly" and that their intentions were "problematic." Chowdhury said he wanted to raise the issue in Parliament but did not get the chance to do so.
