In the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, Amit Shah’s remarks regarding Dr. B.R. Ambedkar have ignited significant controversy and backlash from the Congress party. During a speech in the Rajya Sabha, Shah criticised the Congress for frequently invoking Ambedkar’s name, suggesting it had become a "fashion" for them to do so. He stated, "If they had taken the name of God as often as they mention Ambedkar, they would have attained heaven for seven lives"
The Congress party has responded vehemently, labeling Shah’s comments as insulting and disrespectful to Ambedkar’s legacy. They have formally demanded an apology from Shah, with several leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, condemning his remarks. Gandhi remarked that those who adhere to the Manusmriti will inherently conflict with Ambedkar’s principles, emphasizing the ideological divide between the two.
