Social media is right now abuzz with numerous opinions on the violent act by the Delhi police officials on the students of Jamia Milia Islamia University. The Bollywood fraternity was compelled to speak up and take a stand after the netizens trolled the celebs for not raising their voices despite being the icons of the nation. Several of them condemned the violence and one of them was Alia Bhatt. However, now she is yet again getting trolled for posting the 'wrong' preamble in her Instagram story. Alia Bhatt and Sonakshi Sinha Share 'Preamble of India', Slam Police Action Against Students Protesting Citizenship Amendment Act (View Posts).
The Preamble to the Indian Constitution was amended during the 42nd Amendment but before that it had words that said, 'sovereign democratic republic' on it. However, post amendment it was changed to 'sovereign, socialist secular democratic republic.' However, Alia probably failed to spot the difference between the both and ended up posting the picture of the preamble from before the amendment was done. As a result, it did not have the words 'socialist' and 'secular' in it. The netizens pointed out the mistake quickly. Check out the tweets below.

The Flaw
Alia Bhatt googles "Preamble", and uses the first picture that she could find.
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

One More
Alia Bhatt shared a picture of Incorrect preamble. Farhan Akhtar shared a map of India WITHOUT Jammu & Kashmir and people want them to be their representatives. Sigh ! https://t.co/qEaTrCDEny

Oops!
@aliaa08 sharing pre-42nd amendment Constitution is the biggest joke today that I can handle.
To think that these people have PR/ social media outreach teams. Pre-42nd A. Preamble does not enshrine the words "socialist"and "secular",for those who don't know. pic.twitter.com/yrzeOuogg7

Another Aliaaa Moment?
@aliaa08 posts the Preamble of the Original Constitution which doesn't include the words 'Socialist' & 'Secular'. The only mainstream Bollywood person who is openly supporting the #CitizenshipAmendmentAct.
Or this is just another Aliaa moment?😂@theskindoctor13 @TajinderBagga pic.twitter.com/xTuLvgJmYN

Earlier, a similar incident happened with actor Farhan Akhtar. He posted a graphic on Twitter which had an 'inaccurate' map of India. He soon realized his mistake and posted an apology note saying that he rejects the inaccurate posted by himself and that he regrets not noticing earlier. He also urged fans to join him for the protest held at August Kranti Maidan, Mumbai.
