Today, On 28th June, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said, “Preamble of a Constitution is not changeable,” but pointed out it was changed in 1976 during the Emergency by adding “socialist,” “secular,” and “integrity,” which no other constitution has seen.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant criticized the BJP for likening the current political climate to the Emergency era, asserting it reflects an “undeclared Emergency.” He condemned the judiciary’s inaction on anti-defection laws and questioned its independence, accusing it of failing to protect the Constitution and uphold democratic principles amid alleged government interference.
