Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also issued sharp criticism of the BJP and RSS, accusing them of undermining Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s contributions to India’s Constitution.In response to comments made by Shah in the Rajya Sabha, Kharge said, “The insult that Home Minister Amit Shah has done to Baba Saheb in the House today has once again proved that BJP/RSS were against the Tricolour, opposed the Ashoka Chakra, and wanted to implement Manusmriti instead of the Constitution. Babasaheb did not let that happen, that is why there is so much hatred towards him.”Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit back at the Congress, accusing the party and its “rotten ecosystem” of insulting Ambedkar for years. Addressing the controversy over Shah’s remarks, Modi defended the Home Minister, stating that Congress was engaging in “theatrics” after being “stung and stunned” by his address during the debate on the Constitution.“Amit Shah exposed the Congress’s dark history of insulting Dr. Ambedkar… They are clearly stung and stunned by the facts he presented, which is why they are now indulging in theatrics,” Modi said.
