Ambedkar Controversy: After the scuffle and protest on the Adani controversy and Ambedkar issue in Parliament, Congress leaders have launched a scathing attack on the BJP. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and President Mallikarjun Kharge directly targeted the BJP and Union Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded him to apologize and resign.Rahul Gandhi's allegation: "Attempt to divert attention from Adani"Rahul Gandhi said that there was a demand to discuss the case going on against Adani in the US in Parliament, but the BJP stopped it. He said, "The BJP and the RSS have anti-Constitution and anti-Ambedkar thinking. Their aim is to weaken the Constitution. The Home Minister expressed his thinking in Parliament. We demanded an apology and resignation on his statement, but it did not happen."He alleged that the BJP is trying to divert attention from the main issue. "We were going from the Ambedkar statue towards Parliament, but BJP MPs were trying to stop us. They were standing with sticks. All this is part of the strategy to avoid discussion on the Adani issue," Rahul said.Kharge made serious allegations: "Women MPs were mocked"Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge made serious allegations against BJP MPs. He said, "We also had women MPs with us, but BJP MPs forcefully stopped us and pushed us. I lost balance and sat down. When I tried to get up and speak, they started creating more ruckus."Kharge described Home Minister Amit Shah's statement as "sad" and said, "Shah mocked Ambedkar. We wanted to mention a letter of Baba Saheb in Parliament, in which he had told about the 1952 elections, but we did not get a chance to speak."Adani controversy and BJP's strategyThe Congress has targeted the BJP over the government's silence on the allegations against Adani. Kharge said, "We had the issue of Adani. But when the discussion of the Constitution came in between, the Home Minister tried to change the topic of debate by interpreting Ambedkar and God."Kharge said that the BJP is creating controversy to avoid discussion on the Adani issue. He called the Home Minister's statement an insult to the Constitution and demanded his dismissal from the Prime Minister.BJP's responseThe BJP rejected the allegations of the Congress and accused the opposition of violating the dignity of Parliament. BJP leaders say that the Congress is deliberately disrupting the proceedings of Parliament and trying to take political advantage by making false allegations.What is the root of the controversy?The controversy started with the demand for discussion on Adani in Parliament. After this, Home Minister Amit Shah made statements related to the Constitution and Ambedkar, which the Congress called insulting. In response, the BJP accused the Congress of violating the rules of Parliament and taking the issue in the wrong direction.What do experts say?Experts believe that this controversy reflects the deepening confrontation between the opposition and the government. The increasing pressure on the government over the Adani issue and the statements made during the discussion on the Constitution have further increased it.ConclusionAfter the jostling and allegations and counter-allegations in Parliament, the political atmosphere of the country has heated up. While the Congress is calling it the "anti-constitution" mentality of the BJP, the BJP is calling it a conspiracy of the opposition. Now it remains to be seen in which direction this controversy goes further and whether any conclusion is reached on the issue of Adani and Ambedkar.
