'Never accepted Constitution': Congress hits back at RSS; cites SC ruling on 'secular, socialist'
Jairam Ramesh and Dattatreya Hosabale (R) NEW DELHI: Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday sharply criticised the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), saying it has never accepted the Constitution on has been attacking its framers from the very beginning. His remarks came in response to RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, who a day earlier had said that the words "Socialist" and "Secular" were forcibly added to the Constitution and should now be reconsidered. In a post on X, Jairam Ramesh said, "The RSS has NEVER accepted the Constitution of India. It attacked Dr. Ambedkar, Nehru, and others involved in its framing from Nov 30, 1949, onwards. In the RSS's own words, the Constitution was not inspired by Manusmriti. The RSS and the BJP have repeatedly given the call for a new Constitution. This was Mr Modi's campaign cry during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The people of India decisively rejected this cry. Yet the demands for changing the basic structure of the Constitution continue to be made by the RSS ecosystem." He also pointed to a Supreme Court judgment from November 2024 that rejected petitions challenging the 42nd Constitutional Amendment, which had inserted the words "Socialist" and "Secular" into the Preamble. Ramesh commented, "The Chief Justice of India himself delivered a judgment on November 25, 2024, on the issue now being raised by a leading RSS functionary. Would it be asking too much to request him to take the trouble to read it?" The judgment said, "The writ petitions do not require a detailed adjudication as the flaws and weaknesses in the arguments are obvious and manifest. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Si vous voulez passer du temps sur votre ordinateur, ce jeu de stratégie est un must en 2025.

The top court also referenced past landmark rulings, including Kesavananda Bharati v State of Kerala and SR Bommai vs Union of India, which reinforced that secularism is a basic feature of the Constitution. Ramesh further mentioned that the inclusion of the words was reviewed even after the Emergency, during discussions on the 45th Amendment Bill in 1978. Meanwhile, Dattatreya Hosabale, while speaking at a program on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, said, "The Emergency wasn't just a misuse of power, but an attempt to crush civil liberties. Millions were imprisoned, and freedom of the press was suppressed. He said that those who imposed the Emergency and trampled the Constitution and democracy have never apologised."

Ukrainian drones force suspension of Russian electronics factory
A damaged drone falls from the sky towards the wet ground near a large electronics factory emitting steam. Work at an electronics factory in Russia's Chuvashia region, some 600 kilometres east of Moscow, was briefly suspended on Monday due to falling Ukrainian drones, local officials said. "This morning, Ukrainian attempts to use drones in Chuvashia were detected," regional governor Oleg Nikolayev wrote on Telegram, adding that there were no victims from the attack. Ukraine regularly launches drone attacks on Russia in response to aerial bombardments by Moscow, which began a full-scale offensive into Ukrainian territory more than three years ago. "Two drones fell on the territory of the VNIIR factory," said Nikolayev. The VNIIR facility is one of the main factories producing electronic components in Russia. A decision was taken to "temporarily suspend production to ensure the safety of employees", the governor added. Two drones fell into fields in the region without causing any danger to people, Nikolayev said. "The situation is entirely under control," he added. Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted 49 Ukrainian drones overnight. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Si vous voulez passer du temps sur votre ordinateur, ce jeu populaire est un must en 2025.
