The word ‘secularism’ was added during the Emergency & there should be deliberation on removing it, he says. A day before, Dattatreya Hosabale of RSS had made similar remark.
Congress slams Dattatreya Hosabale’s remarks as a 'deliberate assault on the soul of Constitution'. It will stand as an unbreakable wall against such attempts, the party asserts.
Hosabale says Congress must apologise for the Emergency and excesses committed under Indira Gandhi’s watch. ‘Those who did such things are today moving around with copy of the Constitution.’
In Rajya Sabha, the BJP president also mentions Article 370 & Emergency. The BJP, in turn, faces criticism over its silence on Manipur, interaction with Bollywood's Kapoor family.
If there is even a slim possibility of democratic resistance to the Modi govt's brazen majoritarian politics of hate, then we must not do anything to jeopardise it further.
The question isn't anymore about which non-BJP party can get Muslim votes. The more relevant question is which secular party can get enough Hindu votes.
Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
