The opposition party’s attack came over a social media post by the BJP in which it posted a photograph from the INDIA bloc MPs’ protest in Parliament on Wednesday against Shah’s remarks.However, the images of Ambedkar that the MPs were holding during the protest were edited out and replaced with a picture of US billionaire George Soros.Also, the backdrop was changed with ‘We Love Soros’ written on it.”Hello, Congress and INDI alliance.We fixed the image for you.You’re welcome,” the BJP said in its post.The BJP has been on the offensive as it has claimed that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi had links with George Soros-backed outfits allegedly involved in anti-India activities.Sharing the screenshot of the BJP’s social media post and also the original photograph from the protest, Congress general secretary in-charge organisation K C Venugopal said, “The BJP is brazen in its insult and ridicule of Dr Ambedkar.” “Instead of ensuring the home minister is removed from his post for the immense hurt caused to the crores of Babasaheb’s followers by Amit Shah’s statements, they are doubling down on the ridicule.” Is standing up for Ambedkar against the insult to him a matter of joke for the BJP? he posed.”They are bringing in their rotten falsehoods even on a sensitive matter like Dr Ambedkar’s legacy because they do not respect him and want to diminish his stature for their narrow political goals,” Venugopal said in his post on X.
