Parliament Winter Session LIVE: Congress Vs BJP Showdown Over Amit Shah’s Ambedkar Remark, Both Houses Adjourned
The penultimate day of the Parliament session was off to a stormy start on Thursday as both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 2 pm today due to Opposition ruckus over Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on BR Ambedkar.
Soon after both Houses resumed, they were adjourned till tomorrow amid Opposition sloganeering.
The Parliament Session is coming to a conclusion tomorrow, however, the last days have been hit by a massive political storm after Amit Shah, during his address in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday said, “Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai – Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar’. If they had taken God’s name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven).”
The Congress had vociferously demanded Shah’s resignation and planned to hold pan-India protests on Thursday, alleging that the Home Minister insulted the architect of the Constitution. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders came to Shah’s defence, saying he had exposed the “dark history” of Congress.
In a press conference on Wednesday, Shah alleged that Congress leaders are twisting facts and distorting his comments on Ambedkar in Rajya Sabha. He said Congress launched the malicious campaign after the discussion on the Constitution “established” the opposition party as being “anti-Ambedkar” and “anti-reservation”.
