Mallikarjun Kharge condemned Dattatreya Hosabale for questioning the inclusion of 'secular' and 'socialist' in the Constitution's preamble.

Kharge accused the RSS of opposing the poor, Dalits, and marginalized groups by maintaining age-old discriminatory practices.

He challenged the RSS to eliminate untouchability and focus on national unity instead of causing confusion.

Priyank Kharge suggested the RSS could face a ban under a future Congress-led central government due to their past bans.

If they are going to touch any word in the Constitution, we will fight tooth and nail.
— Mallikarjun Kharge, president of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), told reporters in Bengaluru while condemning RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale's remarks about removing the words 'secular' and 'socialist' from the Constitution.
