Mallikarjun Kharge: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has strongly reacted to the recent statement of Home Minister Amit Shah. Calling it reprehensible, Kharge said that this statement is not only an insult to the Constitution but also against the values ​​of unity and inclusiveness of Indian society. He alleged that the BJP and its leaders have failed to understand and follow the basic spirit of the Constitution.

Kharge's criticism of Amit Shah's statement

Kharge said that the type of statement made by the Home Minister is unfortunate for the country. He alleged that Amit Shah has tried to promote the ideas of Manusmriti instead of the Constitution by talking about heaven and hell. He termed it an insult to Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar and other Dalit heroes.

Kharge said, "This mentality is clearly visible in the senior leaders of BJP. These people do not believe in the Constitution. They are followers of Manusmriti, which talks about dividing the society." He alleged that BJP leaders keep making statements against the ideology of great leaders like Gandhi, Nehru and Ambedkar.

Reference to Constitution and young generation

Kharge underlined the importance of debate on the Constitution. He said that today's young generation, which was born after independence, is unaware of the process of constitution making and its importance. There is a need for nationwide discussion and brainstorming to increase awareness about the debates and deliberations held in the Constituent Assembly. He said that this initiative is necessary to strengthen Indian democracy.

Question on Prime Minister

Kharge also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, "Modi ji made six tweets to defend Amit Shah's statement. This shows that he also supports this mentality." Kharge asked that if the Prime Minister has true respect for Ambedkar, then why is he keeping such a minister in the cabinet who insults Baba Saheb.

Demanded resignation of Amit Shah

The Congress President demanded resignation from Amit Shah. He said that those who insult Ambedkar have no right to remain in the government. Kharge appealed to the Prime Minister to sack Amit Shah and prove his commitment to Ambedkar.

Kharge's message

Kharge said that this attitude of the BJP is against the unity of the country and the basic spirit of the Constitution. He appealed to the opposition and the public to unite to protect the Constitution and the honor of the founders of the country.

This statement of Kharge has increased the heat in political circles. In the coming days, more heated debate can be seen on this issue.
