Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The Ambedkar issue led to political turmoil across the country. Many opposition parties, including the Congress, objected to Amit Shah’s statement in Parliament. Especially after this statement by Shah, the Congress became more aggressive. There are constant marches on this in Parliament. Opposition MPs are protesting. Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal has written to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu.
The BJP insulted Baba Saheb in Parliament. People feel that those who love Baba Saheb cannot support the BJP. You should consider this too.

Baba Saheb is the soul of the country – Arvind Kejriwal
In his letter to the two chief ministers, Kejriwal said Baba Saheb was not a leader but the soul of the country. Those who love Baba Saheb cannot support the BJP. People want you to think deeply about this issue. In fact, there was a huge uproar in the Parliament today (Thursday) over the Baba Saheb Ambedkar issue as well. In response, a scuffle broke out in the parliament building. BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi fell in the melee. His eyes were hurt. He was taken to hospital.

Opposition MPs, on the other hand, held a march on the parliament building over the issue. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi also participated in the event. Congress accused the BJP MP of scuffle with Priyanka and Haq. Rahul Gandhi says BJP MPs are pushing me. They stopped me from going. The BJP is attacking the Constitution and Babasaheb. After being pushed, the MP (Sarangi) fell on me.
What did Amit Shah say?
Amit Shah said in Parliament that it has become a fashion now, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. If a person takes so many names of God, then a person will enter heaven for seven lifetimes. Reacting to Amit Shah’s remarks, Congress president Mallikarjun Haq said Amit Shah should apologize to the country. Babasaheb was no less than God, the savior of Dalits and tribals. Shah said something very disgusting. This shows that the leaders of the BJP and RSS have a lot of hatred for Baba Saheb Ambedkar. The hatred is so great that even their names infuriate them.
