Nagpur,

28 June (HS): Supriya Sule, NCP (SP) MP, said on Saturday that the Indian

Constitution was the result of considerable debate and that no one would be

permitted to modify it. The Lok Sabha MP from Baramati was holding a news

conference in Nagpur.

Sule

responded to a question on RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's recent

proposal to examine the words'socialist' and'secular' in the Constitution's

preamble, saying that in a democracy; everyone has the freedom to speak up. He

expressed his feelings, Sule stated.

Addressing

an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, Hosabale stated

that Baba Saheb Ambedkar's preamble to the Constitution never included these

phrases (socialist and secular). During

the Emergency, when fundamental rights were suspended, Parliament did not

function, and the courts became ineffective, these phrases were inserted.

Sule

said such scandals remind her of the late senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley, who

used to argue that if the media stopped highlighting these occurrences, people

wouldn't speak about it. The Constitution is the outcome of significant debate

and thought. We will not allow anyone to

change the Constitution in our nation, she declared.

When

questioned about the ongoing issue over Hindi for elementary school kids, Sule

inquired whether Hindi is required in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra

Pradesh, or Telangana. The Maharashtra

government recently issued an amended order requiring Hindi to be taught as the

third language to students in Marathi and English medium schools from Classes 1

to 5. This raises questions about why Hindi is being made mandatory in the

state.
