Constitution preamble on hotel door; Twitterati sees CAA link

A well-known hotel here has pasted a text from Preamble to the Constitution on its glass door near the reception area, prompting some social media users to link it with the Citizenship Amendment Act.

However, the hotel on Monday clarified that its act of posting text from preamble on its door has got nothing to do with the new citizenship law and said it was put up three-four months back, before CAA came into existence.

While entering the reception area of 'The House of Mangaldas Girdhardas' or 'The House of MG', a heritage hotel located in Lal Darwaja area of old Ahmedabad city, one can read an excerpt from the preamble on its glass door.

The text prominently reads 'The Constitution of India' on the top, followed by the famed preamble saying 'We the people of India...' pasted all over the glass door in a subtle yet stylish manner.

The hotel also houses a restaurant named 'Agashiye', which literally means 'on the terrace'.

A Twitter user named Sukhada on Sunday shared a photo of hotel's door, saying "One of my favorite places to eat at Ahmedabad has this on their front door. Lots of love, Agashiye and House of MG".

Though the person did not link it with CAA protests, some other Twitter users enquired if the text was there earlier.

One user said: "CAA has made us respect the Preamble more."
