INC opinion on Secularism As Core of India’s Nationalism


The Indian National Congress (INC) has requested the Supreme Court to intervene in a challenge against the Places of Worship Act (POWA), 1991. The INC emphasized secularism as core of India’s nationalism and Freedom Movement.

1991 Act Ensures Religious Harmony


The Act preserves the religious character of places of worship as they existed on August 15, 1947. The INC highlighted that it was instrumental in drafting the law during its majority in the 10th Lok Sabha.


Opposition to Alterations in POWA


The INC warned that altering the Act could harm India’s secular fabric and communal harmony. The party quoted the Supreme Court’s observation that secularism in India protects indigenous natives and ensures state neutrality toward all religions.


Supreme Court’s Freeze on Civil Court Orders


In December, a Special Bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna barred civil courts from entertaining new suits. They barred issuing orders to reclaim religious sites destroyed in the 16th century. The freeze aims to prevent violations of Sections 3 and 4 of the Act. This section prohibits conversion of religious places and protect their 1947 status.
The INC, along with minority organizations and senior advocates, argues that the Act is essential for safeguarding secularism and preventing communal tensions. Hence, the opinions of secularism as core of India’s nationalism led to manifold attention.
