Indian Overseas Congress Chairman Sam Pitroda
A political war has begun over Dr. Ambedkar, the founder of the Constitution. While the opposition demands an apology from Home Minister Amit Shah, the BJP continues to fight back. The party on Thursday attacked the main opposition party by sharing an old tweet from Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda. Pitroda had published an article earlier this year in which he said the greatest contribution to the Constitution came from Jawaharlal Nehru, not Ambedkar.
What did Pietroda write?
Sam Pitroda wrote in a post on January 26, 2024 Who collaborated the most in creating the Constitution? Nehru’s, not Ambedkar’s. He further wrote that the Constitution framed by Babasaheb… Dr. Ambedkar is the father of the Indian Constitution and this is the biggest lie in the modern history of India.
Rahul Gandhi guru Sam Pitroda’s thoughts on Babasaheb Ambedkar, the BJP wrote while sharing his post. Sam writes that calling Baba Saheb the creator of the Constitution is the biggest lie in history. Rahul Gandhi, you asked him to apologize.
What did Mamta say?
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks about Ambedkar in the Union House reflected the casteist and anti-Dalit mentality of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
Mamta posted on social media platform X that the mask had come off. When the Parliament was reviewing the glorious journey of the Constitution over its 75 years, Home Minister Amit Shah on this occasion, also in the halls of democracy, made derogatory remarks about Babasaheb Ambedkar, tarnishing the Parliament (Constitution) image.
He claimed that this was a manifestation of the casteism and anti-untouchability mentality of the BJP. If they continue to do so after being reduced to 240 seats, imagine the damage that will be done if they realize their dream of 400 seats. They will rewrite history and completely erase Dr. Ambedkar’s contribution.
Jairam Ramesh shared a video clip
Earlier, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh shared a video clip of Amit Shah’s speech in the Upper House on X. Taking a dig at the opposition, Shah said that now it has become a fashion – Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. If you accept so many names of God, you will go to heaven for seven lifetimes. Amit Shah was responding at the end of a two-day debate in the Rajya Sabha on the glorious 75 years of the Indian Constitution.
