Later addressing a press conference, All India Congress Media and Publicity department head Pawan Khera said, “The attack (against Ambedkar) came from none other than the home minister of India, the second most powerful man in this country, Mr.Amit Shah. He is unrepentant.The prime minister is unrepentant.” “We have demanded his resignation and this demand will be reiterated in these 150 press conferences across the country,” Khera said.Criticising their “continued defence” of Shah’s comments, Khera said it is a “blatant insult to Dr.Ambedkar’s legacy”.On December 24, he said, in every district headquarter, there will be a Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman march that will be carried out by Congress leaders and workers.”Again, we will reiterate our demand, we will give a memorandum through the collector to the President of India and we will be garlanding the statues of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Ji in every district headquarter,” he said.He noted that to mark 100 years of Mahatma Gandhi’s presidency at the Belagavi Congress Session in 1924, the party will hold an extended CWC meeting on December 26, followed by a large rally on December 27 in Belagavi.Khera emphasised that Mahatma Gandhi ji’s leadership transformed the freedom movement by introducing powerful ideas like ‘Swaraj’ and ‘Satyagraha,’ which became central to India’s independence struggle.
