On November 25, 2024, the Supreme Court of India upheld the inclusion of the terms 'socialist' and 'secular' in the Preamble of the Constitution, affirming their status as part of the 42nd Constitutional Amendment enacted in 1976. This decision came shortly after a controversy erupted in Odisha on November 26, when the Preamble displayed in the state assembly reportedly omitted these words. The ruling has prompted reactions from political leaders, including BJD president Naveen Patnaik, who criticized the alleged omission, stating, 'Removing the secular word from the Preamble of the Constitution of India was a bad mistake.' Odisha Minister Mukesh Mahaling also defended the Constitution, asserting that claims of contempt regarding the displayed Preamble were false. The Supreme Court's ruling and the subsequent political uproar highlight ongoing debates surrounding the interpretation and representation of India's constitutional values.
