During a debate on Constitution in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Shah had 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).”He had also said the BJP was happy that the Congress was taking Ambedkar’s name but it should also speak about its real sentiments towards him, and went on to narrate incidents where the opposition party had denied the respect due to him.On Wednesday, Shah hit back at the Congress that is leading the opposition’s attack on him, alleging the party twisted facts and distorted his comments.
