The BJP has accused the Congress party of launching a smear campaign against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, following his remarks in the Rajya Sabha that the Congress misrepresented. In response, Congress initiated a weeklong campaign, “Ambedkar Samman Saptah,” to honor BR Ambedkar’s legacy, claiming Shah insulted him during a debate on the Constitution.
BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad criticized Congress for its historical treatment of Ambedkar, demanding an unconditional apology for past insults. He labeled Congress’s actions as hypocritical and emphasized that the public would see through their “drama.”
The ongoing political exchange highlights the contentious relationship between the two parties, particularly regarding their narratives surrounding Ambedkar’s contributions and legacy in Indian society.
