Maya welcomes Centre stand on socialist, secular in Preamble
Lucknow: BSP chief Mayawati on Friday welcomed the Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal's statement in Parliament that the govt has no current plan or intention to remove the words 'socialist' and 'secular' from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. Insisting that the statement was "appropriate and commendable", the BSP chief, in a post on X, said, "It is news of relief and assurance for all such people, including our party BSP, who are completely against any such improper change or tampering in the Constitution of the most revered Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar and were also worried about such wrong demands arising." It all started in June when RSS general secretary, Dattatreya Hosabale said that whether the words 'secular' and 'socialist' should remain in the preamble of the Constitution needed to be discussed. Mayawati had then said that it will be extremely inappropriate to tamper with the provisions and humanitarian objectives of the Constitution, "as words used in it and its preamble satisfy the soul of the country, and were implemented after a lot of prudence and long and in-depth discussion." She said that her party, BSP, was getting a feeling that it was time to raise a voice against such things nationally. "If any political party tries to alter the Constitution, the BSP will not simply sit and watch over it, but hit the streets in protest," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The former UP CM said that India is the country with the largest population of people of different religions, like Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, and Parsis, and the specialty of unity in diversity through the Constitution is its unique identity across the world.

Drop SIR: Stalin to Centre
Chennai: Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin has demanded that the Union govt drop the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, comparing the exercise to 'playing with fire'. In a social media post on Friday, Stalin said the SIR was being misused to erase voters from disadvantaged and dissenting communities, so that the outcome could be tilted in favour of the BJP . "This is not about reform. It is about engineering outcomes," he said. He said what had happened in Bihar during the SIR was a telling example of the potential threat posed by the exercise.

That is why it is trying to stop them from voting altogether," he said. "If you (BJP) cannot defeat us, you seek to delete us. Don't play with fire. Any threat to our democracy will be met with firm resistance," he added. Stalin said that TN will raise its voice against SIR with full force. "Democracy belongs to the people. It will not be stolen," Stalin said in the post with the tag 'Quit SIR.' Meanwhile, CPM state secretary P Shanmugam has written to chief electoral officer Archana Patnaik asking her to convene an all-party meeting to discuss SIR. Stating that there are reports about preparatory work for commencing SIR in TN too, Shanmugam said the Election Commission of India should listen to views of political parties and then proceed with electoral roll revision.
