Govt Has No Intent To Remove ‘Socialist' And ‘Secular' From Preamble: Law Minister Meghwal
The Central government has clarified that it has no current plan or intention to remove the words 'socialist' and 'secular' from the Preamble of the Constitution. Responding to a question raised by Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman in the Rajya Sabha, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Thursday said that although some groups are advocating the removal of the words "socialist" and "secular" from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, no formal decision or proposal has been announced by the government yet. 'The Indian government has not formally initiated any legal or constitutional process to remove the words 'socialist' and 'secular' from the Preamble. While there may be discussions or debates in certain public or political circles, no formal decision or proposal has been announced by the government regarding amendments to these terms,' Meghwal clarified. Reiterating the government's position, he added: 'There is no current plan or intent to reconsider or remove the words from the Preamble. Any such constitutional amendment would require broad political consensus and detailed deliberation — and at present, no such process has been initiated.' His statement follows recent remarks by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, who in June called for a national discussion on whether these words, added during the Emergency via the 42nd Constitutional Amendment (1976), should remain in the Preamble. Meghwal distinguished the government's stance from the views expressed by leaders of social organisations. 'It is possible that some groups are expressing opinions or advocating for a reconsideration of these words. Such discussions may contribute to public discourse, but they do not reflect the official position or actions of the government,' he said. Citing a Supreme Court ruling from November 2024 in Dr Balram Singh and Others vs Union of India, Minister Meghwal said: 'The court clarified that 'socialism' in the Indian context signifies a welfare state and does not impede private sector growth, while 'secularism' is integral to the Constitution's basic structure.'

No current plan to drop ‘socialism', ‘secularism' from Preamble: Law Minister Arjun Meghwal
The Union government has clarified that it has 'no current plan or intention' to reconsider or remove the words 'socialism' and 'secularism' from the Preamble of the Constitution Responding to a question in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said that while discussions or debates may be taking place in certain public or political circles, the government has neither announced any formal proposal nor initiated any legal or constitutional process to alter the Preamble. 'The government's official stand is that there is no current plan or intention to reconsider or remove the words 'socialism' and 'secularism' from the Preamble of the Constitution,' Meghwal said in a written reply. Meghwal said that any amendment to the Preamble would require extensive deliberation and broad consensus, which, at present, is not under consideration. The Law Minister also noted that in November 2024, the Supreme Court dismissed petitions challenging the 1976 amendment that added the two words. The court upheld Parliament's power to amend the Constitution, including the Preamble, and clarified that in the Indian context, 'socialism' refers to a welfare state and does not hinder private enterprise, while 'secularism' is an essential part of the Constitution's basic structure. Meghwal said while certain groups may be advocating a review of the added terms, such opinions do not reflect the government's official position. 'Such activities may generate public discourse, but they do not indicate any official action or policy direction,' he said. Last month, former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar stirred controversy when he described the inclusion of the words 'socialist' and 'secular' in the Preamble as a 'festering wound.' His remarks lent weight to RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's call for a national debate on whether these terms should continue to define India's foundational values. Dhankhar had asserted that the Preamble is 'sacrosanct and not changeable,' calling the insertion of the words during the Emergency 'a sacrilege to the spirit of Sanatan.' (With inputs from PTI )

Nearly 5 Lakh Fake NCERT Textbooks Seized In Piracy Crackdown: Government In Parliament
New Delhi: The Union Education Ministry has seized over 4.7 lakh pirated NCERT textbooks across India since 2024, in a widespread crackdown on textbook piracy. In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, July 24, Minister of State for Education Jayant Chaudhary said piracy cases had been reported from multiple parts of the country. "During the years 2024 and 2025, approximately 4.71 lakh pirated copies of NCERT textbooks have been seized in various operations across different states. Piracy is driven primarily by commercial motives of unscrupulous elements," he said. The scale of the operation underscores the challenge of ensuring genuine and affordable educational material reaches students nationwide. The minister underlined that the primary objective of NCERT is to provide quality textbooks at a very affordable price to the last student across the country, "on a no-profit and no-loss basis". To clamp down on the illicit printing and distribution network, NCERT has intensified enforcement action. Chaudhary informed the Upper House that in the last one year, a total of 29 premises linked to the manufacture and sale of pirated NCERT textbooks have been raided. These included locations involved in printing pirated books, producing counterfeit NCERT watermarked paper, and supplying illegal material. Stock and machinery worth over Rs 20 crore have been confiscated during these operations. The NCERT has also implemented a series of proactive measures. "Including a 20 per cent price reduction of NCERT textbooks, timely printing of NCERT textbooks, improved quality of paper and printing (using modern machines), promotion of online sale of textbooks through e-commerce platforms," said Chaudhary. Additionally, NCERT is encouraging online sales through e-commerce platforms to ensure students have easy and secure access to authentic books. A tech-driven anti-piracy pilot initiative has also been launched to strengthen safeguards against duplication. "NCERT has conducted a pilot trial of a technology-based anti-piracy solution on one million copies of a grade 6 textbook," Chaudhary said. "This tech-based solution has been developed and patented by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur." The Education Ministry's response signals a clear intent to tackle textbook piracy through both enforcement and innovation. As the academic year progresses, authorities hope that these steps will not only deter counterfeiters but also ensure students receive the quality educational resources they are entitled to.
