Key Excerpts that exposes Congress Duplicity

During the Emergency, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi made the word ‘secular’ part of the preamble of the Constitution but did not define it. When the Janata Party came to power in 1977 an attempt was made to define ‘secular republic’ to mean a ‘republic’ in which there is equal respect for all religions’. The Janata government had a majority in the Lok Sabha but was in a minority in the Rajya Sabha where it was voted down by the Congress. - 


The word secular does not exist in the Muslim world. The condition of non-Muslims in those countries is well known and 
does not merit comment. 



Nobody asks Congress why it voted down a plausible explanation for a word it introduced, which was never there in the original constitution.
