The current winter session of Parliament is set to conclude today, with tensions rising between the ruling and opposition parties over Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s comments about Dr. B.R.
Ambedkar. The opposition plans to march from Vijay Chowk to Parliament, while the BJP will hold a demonstration at the Gandhi statue, following dramatic events that unfolded on Thursday. Two BJP MPs were hospitalized due to head injuries reportedly sustained during a clash with opposition leaders.
A case has been filed against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of “physical assault and incitement” amid a scuffle on Parliament grounds. The controversy surrounding Ambedkar arose from Shah’s statement in the Rajya Sabha during the final day of the Constitution debate. He remarked, “It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar.
If they recited God’s name that many times, they would have found a place in heaven.” The opposition quickly protested, viewing his comments as disrespectful to the creator of the Constitution. The BJP responded by alleging that the opposition misinterpreted Shah’s words to create disruptions in Parliament.
