Odisha’s assembly witnessed uproarious scenes as the omission of “socialist” and “secular” from the Constitution’s Preamble display sparked protests. BJD and Congress members disrupted proceedings, demanding restoration following a recent Supreme Court affirmation of these words. BJP countered, stating the display showcased the original 1949 Preamble, predating the 1976 amendment, and remained unchanged under previous governments.
