Meanwhile, earlier today, Congress MP K Suresh gave an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha regarding Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s alleged controversial remarks on Former Minister of Law and Justice BR Ambedkar.
The notice stated, “I hereby give notice of my intention to ask for leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the business of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent importance.”
In the notice, the Congress MP said, “The statements made about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the principal architect of our Constitution, was deeply disrespectful and hurtful to the people who hold him in the highest regard.” He added that Shah’s remarks belittled Ambedkar’s contributions, calling them mere “political symbolism” and undermining the values of justice, equality, and dignity that Ambedkar fought for.
He further underlined, “Dr Ambedkar’s legacy is not confined to any political party; it belongs to the entire nation.”
Suresh urged the House to take a strong stand and called for an unconditional apology from the Home Minister for his statements, affirming the nation’s commitment to respecting its national heroes.
The Congress MP on Thursday too submitted an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha, calling for an unconditional apology from Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his comments on the former Minister of Law and Justice, BR Ambedkar. He also sought an urgent discussion on Shah’s remarks made during the 75th anniversary celebrations of the Indian Constitution.
In his notice, Suresh expressed “grave concern” over Shah’s comments, which he claimed were “deeply disrespectful and hurtful” to those who hold Ambedkar in high regard.
Shah had reportedly stated in Rajya Sabha, “If they had taken the name of God so many times instead of Ambedkar, they would have got heaven for seven lives.” (ANI)
