Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

RSS’s Intent Exposed

 

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly denounces the proposal made
by the RSS General Secretary to remove the words ‘socialist’ and ‘secular’
from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. This proposal exposes the
RSS’s long-standing objective of subverting the Constitution and its intent
to transform India into a Hindu Rashtra, in pursuit of its Hindutva project.

 

The Indian Constitution embodies the aspirations of countless freedom
fighters from various streams of our historic anti-colonial struggle for
independence. The inclusion of ‘socialism’ and ‘secularism’ in the Preamble
is not an arbitrary addition; it reflects the core values for which freedom
fighters like Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his comrades stood and
sacrificed their lives. Their ideals are embedded in every provision of the
Constitution, and the insertion of these words merely affirms that legacy.

 

It is the height of hypocrisy for the RSS, which played no role in the
freedom movement, to now advocate for the removal of these foundational
principles. That it cannot tolerate the values cherished by our martyrs
betrays its reactionary, anti-people, and divisive ideology.

 

The CPI(M) firmly opposes any attempt to alter the core values enshrined in
our Constitution. We appeal to the people to remain vigilant and resolutely
resist all such efforts by the RSS and its protégé, BJP.
