After the showdown inside and outside parliament during the winter session, the Congress has said it will hold protest marches against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, whom it has accused of “insulting” Ambedkar with his remarks last Tuesday, and observe a weeklong campaign on the issue.Shah has accused the Congress of twisting facts and distorting his comments on Ambedkar in the Rajya Sabha, asserting it was a malicious campaign after the discussion on the Constitution “established” the opposition party as being “anti-Ambedkar and anti-reservation”.Taking to “X” on Sunday, Mayawati said, “There is huge anger among the people across the country over the disrespect of the most revered Baba Saheb Dr.Bhimrao Ambedkar by Shri Amit Shah in Parliament, but the avidity of the Congress party, which has always neglected and hurt his struggle for the country, is pure deception and politics of selfishness.”All the parties are engaged in a conspiracy to hurt BSP in order to stop the caravan of Ambedkar supporters, she alleged.Targeting the Samajwadi Party, Mayawati said, “Especially the SP which, out of malice, even changed the names of districts, institutions and public welfare schemes, etc.”
