Guwahati: The Assam Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi on Monday said that Home Minister Amit Shah’s comments about Ambedker in parliament was an insult to the whole Dalit community in the country.
Speaking with the reporters MP Pradyut Bordoloi said that he was in the Parliament when Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke about B.R. Ambedkar. I have the original audio clip with me.
Bordoloi also said that Shah’s statement was derogatory in nature. It has insulted the Dalit community in our country. “We will continue our protest against the comments made by Amit Shah.”
The congress earlier also announced nationwide protests over Shah’s remarks demanding his resignation and apology for his remarks.
The decision followed a high-level meeting chaired by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, where it was resolved to strengthen the fight to uphold Ambedkar’s legacy. A series of activities have been planned as part of this intensified campaign.
As part of the agitation, the party has called for a Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman March to be held in every district across India on Tuesday.
The march will begin with the garlanding of Ambedkar’s statue, followed by the submission of a memorandum to the President through respective District Collectors.
“Ensure that a large portrait of Ambedkar is prominently displayed at the front of the march. Participants should carry placards featuring Ambedkar’s image along with slogans demanding an apology from Amit Shah and his removal from the Union Cabinet,” Venugopal said in the statement.
