A government advertisement for Republic Day published in newspapers omitted the words “socialist, secular” in the image of the Preamble to the Constitution, triggering uproar and signature campaigns over social media platforms on Tuesday.

The alleged faux pas in the advertisement printed on January 26 came to light a day before US President Barack Obama said at a public event in Delhi that upholding religious freedom was the responsibility of the Indian government.

“The controversy surrounding the ad is uncalled for. Photo of original Preamble was a way of honouring founding fathers of the Constitution,” tweeted minister of state for information and broadcasting (IB) Rajyavardhan Rathore.
