Delhi: The congress MP Priyanka Gandhi on Thursday said that Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in parliament on B.R Ambedkar was reality of what Bharatiya Janata party’s thinking about the constitution makers.
Speaking with the reporters Gandhi outside the parliament, lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata party and its MPs who were protesting against the congress saying their party insults Dr Ambedkar, challenging them to chant “Jai Bhim” in the parliament premises.
She also said that they protest daily from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Nothing has happened till now.
“This is all a conspiracy. We asked those who were stopping us to chant ‘Jai Bhim’. We didn’t say anything. We kept chanting slogans for our constitution.”
“If the people of this country think that these people are protecting the constitution, they should not remain confused since Amit Shah’s language has exposed their reality. They can’t even say Jai Bhim. I challenge them to say Jai Bhim here,” she told reporters.
Gandhi came out in defence of Rahul Gandhi amid the allegation of physical assault and said that Rahul was going inside the parliament peacefully when BJP MPs stopped him.
“Rahul (Gandhi) was peacefully going inside the Parliament while holding BR Ambedkar’s photograph and chanting the ‘Jai Bhim’ slogan. Who stopped him from going to the Parliament? We have been protesting for so many days and there is always space left for those who are going inside and outside,” Vadra, who is the Congress MP from Wayanad, said.
Gandhi further accused the BJP MPs of pushing Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge while protesting. Reacting to the entire situation, she said that it was a conspiracy to save Amit Shah’s skin.
This comes amid a fresh controversy where BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi alleged that he was hurt after getting a push from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Sarangi claimed that he was standing on stairs when another member of Parliament fell on him, leading to an injury on his head.
The BJP MP was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for treatment in an ambulance. BJP MP Mukesh Rajput was also injured during the protests and he has also been admitted to the RML hospital.
