<h1>Removal of socialism and secularism urged to restore original Preamble meaning and affirm India's trusteeship approach.</h1> A state chief minister called for deleting socialism and secularism from the Constitution's Preamble, asserting those words were added during the Emergency by a constitutional amendment and reflect Western concepts incompatible with Indian civilisation. He argued that the Constitution's non discrimination guarantee already addresses religious equality, that India's approach to religion is one of positive alignment rather than neutral secularism, and that India's economic tradition of trusteeship differs from socialism, which he says harmed competitiveness and was later displaced by liberalisation.
