Will the words 'socialist', 'secular' be removed from the Constitution? What did the Supreme Court say?

Next month, the Supreme Court will hear petitions demanding removal of the words 'secular' and 'socialist' from the Preamble of the Constitution. Initially, the court said that these words are not in accordance with the basic spirit of the Constitution, but later the court said that it will hear the petitioners in the week starting from November 18.

Three Supreme Court petitions have said that these words were added to the Preamble through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment in 1976, which led to Emergency and opposition leaders were in jail, for political reasons, without any discussion.

The petitioner's lawyer gave this argument

Petitioner Balram Singh's lawyer Vishnu Jain and petitioner Ashwini Upadhyay said that the Constituent Assembly, after much discussion, decided that the word 'secular' would not be in the Preamble. On this, Justice Sanjeev Khanna, who was presiding over the bench of two judges, said, “Don't you want India to remain secular? Secularism in India is different from the concept prevalent in France.

During the hearing it was also raised that 'socialism' is a kind of political ideology. The leader of every party takes oath on the Constitution after becoming a public representative. It is wrong to make people of every ideology take an oath to be socialist. On this, Justice Khanna said that instead of a political ideology, 'socialism' can also be seen in the way that the Constitution gives equal rights to every section of the society.
