Parliament Winter Session Highlights: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday hit out at the Congress for allegedly distorting his remarks on BR Ambedkar in the Rajya Sabha, and said he belongs to a party – the Bharatiya Janata Party – that can never insult a leader who drafted the Constitution.
The developments came amid a political row over Shah’s remarks in the Upper House on Tuesday during a debate on the Constitution, with the Congress alleging that BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders have a “lot of hatred” for Ambedkar. The opposition also demanded an apology from the BJP leader.
Shah had attacked the Congress in the Rajya Sabha, saying the party treated the Constitution as the “private fiefdom” of one family and “played fraud” with Parliament.
