Congress on Tuesday hit back at the government after the Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) sent out invites for a G20 dinner of September 9 in the name of President of Bharat instead of the usual President of India saying now even this Union of States is under assault.
The Narendra Modi-led Central government, which has been emphasising liberating the people of the country from the slavery mentality and any elements related to such a psyche during the ongoing Amrit Kaal, is reportedly planning to remove the word India from the Constitution, sources in the know of things claimed, adding that a preparation pertaining to the proposal is underway.

In a post on X, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, "So the news is indeed true. Rashtrapati Bhawan has sent out an invite for a G20 dinner on September 9 in the name of 'President of Bharat' instead of the usual 'President of India'."
"Now, Article 1 in the Constitution can read: 'Bharat, that was India, shall be a Union of States'. But now even this 'Union of States' is under assault," the Congress communication in-charge said.
