Sukhendu Sekhar Roy makes a Point of Order on the insult to the Constitution by a Union Minister and attack on migrant labourers in many States

FULL TRANSCRIPT

I have two points to submit. In the Preamble to the Constitution, it is clearly mentioned, and all of us know, “WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN, SOCIALIST, SECULAR, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC…”

Whether a person holding the rank of Cabinet Minister in the Government of India can denounce the Preamble of the Constitution? Can he be allowed to continue as a Minister?

I have given a Notice under Rule 267. There are increases incidents of attacks on migrant labourers in the country.
