Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, December 19-
Punjab Legislative Assembly lop and congress Mp Partap Bajwa said that the recent comments made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, are both disrespectful and unacceptable.
He said that these remarks not only insult the unparalleled legacy of Babasaheb Ambedkar but also reflect the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) persistent disregard for the foundational principles of equality, justice, and inclusivity that he envisioned for this nation.
He said that what makes these comments even more reprehensible is the fact that they were made while speaking on the Constitution in Parliament. Parliament is no less than a place of worship for the 1 billion people of India who cherish democracy. It embodies the hopes and aspirations of every citizen, and its sanctity must never be tarnished by statements that undermine the contributions of a visionary like Dr. Ambedkar.
Bajwa said that the BJP leadership must remember that they owe their very positions in Parliament and the Union Cabinet to the Constitution that Babasaheb meticulously crafted.
