EAC-PM distances itself from its chairman Debroy’s article

New Delhi The Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) has distanced itself from its chairman Bibek Debroy’s article suggesting embracing a new constitution,and said the article in no way reflects the views of EAC-PM or Government of India. “The recent article by Dr @bibekdebroy was in his personal capacity. In no way do they reflect the views of EAC-PM or the Government of India,” EAC-PM tweeted on Thursday. EAC-PM is an independent body constituted to give advice on economic and related issues to Government of India, specifically to Prime Minister. Debroy is the chairman of the Council. Although the tweet did not mention which article it was referring to, Debroy had earlier this week authored an article in Mint titled ‘ There is a case for ‘we the people’ to embrace a new Constitution’ and termed the present Constitution a ‘colonial legacy’.
