Following opposition’s protest, the meeting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till 2 pm. Earlier today, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, in response to Shah’s comments in Parliament about Babasaheb Ambedkar, said the BJP had a habit of “chanting” the name of first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to hide its inability to address the problems of inflation, unemployment and inequality. by country.
speaking with ANIJairam Ramesh pointed out, “To survive today’s challenges, they should chant Nehru’s name. If they don’t, people will ask them what they are doing about inflation, unemployment and inequality.”
“Yesterday, the Home Minister grossly insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar. He said, ‘You keep on chanting Ambedkar, Ambedkar. It would be better if you chant God’s name.’ If this is not an insult to Dr Ambedkar then the truth is that the BJP, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister repeatedly insult Ambedkar and instead blame the Congress party,” Jairam Ramesh said.
Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday hit out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah over BR Ambedkar’s comments and said the nation will “definitely respond” to it.
Rajya Sabha MP Singh took X and said, “How much Amit Shah, Modi and the entire BJP hate Baba Saheb Ambedkar…Such hatred on hearing the name of Baba Saheb… Nation will respond, Amit Shah ji will definitely respond.”
