Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “…my statement was distorted in the Rajya Sabha… first they also made public the edited statements of PM Modi. When elections were going on, my statements were edited using AI and a despicable act was done to broadcast it across the country and today they are distorting what I said for Ambedkar ji. I want to say this with clarity and also appeal to the media to present my complete statement before the public. I come from a party which can never insult Ambedkar. First Jan Sangh and then BJP have always tried to follow the principles of Ambedkar ji… BJP has done the work of further strengthening the reservation.”
Congress made fun of Baba Saheb
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “…when the discussion was going on in Parliament, it was proved how Congress opposed Baba Saheb Ambedkar. How Congress tried to make fun of Baba Saheb even after his death… As far as giving Bharat Ratna is concerned, Congress leaders have given Bharat Ratna to themselves many times. Nehru ji gave himself Bharat Ratna in 1955, Indira Gandhi gave herself Bharat Ratna in 1971 and Baba Saheb got Bharat Ratna in 1990, when Congress Party was not in power and there was a government supported by Bharatiya Janata Party…To Ambedkar Nehru’s hatred is well known…”
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “…an all-party cabinet became the first cabinet in the country in which Baba Saheb Ambedkar was also a member, Nehru ji was the Prime Minister. Another mention comes in Nehruji’s book ‘Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru’. Despite Nehru ji’s assurance, Bhim Rao Ambedkar was not given any important department… On one hand there is Congress party. As long as Congress was in power, no memorial of Baba Saheb Ambedkar was built. Wherever opposition governments came, memorials were built. BJP governments and the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi developed Panchteerth related to the life of Baba Saheb, Mhow in Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar Memorial in London, Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur, National Memorial in Delhi and Chaitrabhoomi in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The work of development was done by BJP governments. On 19 November 2015, PM Modi declared 26 November as Constitution Day in honor of Ambedkar ji…”
