Alia Bhatt trolled for sharing wrong Preamble in support of protest against CAA

Alia Bhatt, who has been a regular at social media trails, is yet again at the receiving end. This time, the Raazi actor is being trolled for sharing wrong Preamble in support of students’ protest against CAA.

Mumbai: After Sonakshi Sinha and Ishan Khatter, Alia Bhatt became the latest Bollywood star to post a picture of the Preamble to the Constitution of India, as a mark of solidarity towards nationwide students protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). However, Ms Bhatt got trolled for picking up wrong Preamble picture.

Alia posted a photo of the Preamble on Instagram with a caption that went: "Learn from the students."

Soon after Alia's Instagram story went viral, the netizens were quick enough to notice that the Gully Boy star has not shared the Preamble which was changed after 42nd Amendment.

The 42nd Amendment changed the description of India from a “sovereign democratic republic” to a “sovereign, socialist secular democratic republic”, and also changed the words “unity of the nation” to “unity and integrity of the nation”. The changes were done by former PM Indira Gandhi during the Emergency period.

The picture set keyboard warriors alight and they had some nasty things to say to the actor.

  She doesn't even know that this is the original Preamble, which doesn't have the words "Secular" and "Socialist", the ideals that they claim to be protecting. 🤣😂 pic.twitter.com/ag9tkshEuC

I stand by anybody who exercises their rights peacefully and I pray for the unison and well being of all my fellow people."
