BJP MP's Bill in RS seeking to amend Preamble of Constitution 'Reserved' after opposition protest

When deputy chairperson Harivansh called Alphons to introduce the bill, Manoj Jha (RJD) and Jairam Ramesh (Congress) led the opposition chorus to not allow it on the grounds that Preamble is part of the "basic structure" of the Constitution and cannot be amended. They requested the Chair not to allow the member to move the bill. Jha cited Rule 62 of the Rules of Conduct of Business to argue his point.
