Lalu slams RSS for its demand to drop 'secular', 'socialist' from constitution

Patna, June 27 (UNI) RJD chief Lalu Prasad today slammed the RSS for its demand to drop the words "secular" and "socialist" from the preamble of the Constitution, saying it was a reflection of the organisation's "hatred for the constitution and its architect Baba Bhim Rao Ambedkar".
Prasad made the comment in a post on his social media account, saying the two words-- "secular" and "socialist" were the soul of the constitution but the RSS had demanded to drop both the words from its preface.
"Demand of RSS for dropping the words 'secular' and 'socialist' is like demanding for changing the entire constitution itself," the RJD leader said, and asked why the RSS had "so much hatred for the constitution and Baba Saheb Ambedkar. RSS is a casteist and communal organisation," he noted.
