  • Amid Opposition protest against Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday accused the Congress of insulting BR Ambedkar, not giving him Bharat Ratna and alleged they defeated him twice in polls as part of a conspiracy.

Kiren Rijiju, the Minister of Earth Sciences, defended Union Home Minister Amit Shah's recent comments on the Constitution, asserting that Shah's statements clearly demonstrated a deep respect for Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution. Rijiju emphasized that Shah's remarks were intended to highlight the reverence the government holds for Ambedkar and the Constitution, countering any misinterpretations or criticisms from opposition parties. He stressed that the government's actions and policies are in line with Ambedkar's vision, focusing on social justice, equality, and the upliftment of marginalized communities. This defense comes in the wake of Shah's speech where he critiqued the Congress party for allegedly undermining the Constitution, sparking a political debate on the interpretation and respect for constitutional values.
