Mayawati hits out at Amit Shah over remarks on Ambedkar

In a series of posts on X in Hindi, Mayawati said, “Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, the author of the original book in the form of the super-humanistic and welfare Constitution for the self-respect and human rights of the Dalits, deprived, and other neglected people of the country, is as revered as God. His disrespect by Shri Amit Shah hurts the hearts of the people.”

She further mentioned that people from all sections of society in the country are quite angry and agitated by the words spoken by him in Parliament regarding such a great man.

“Ambedkarite BSP has demanded that he take back his statement and repent, which has not been done till now,” she said.

The BSP chief also stated that in such a situation, if the demand is not met, the BSP will raise its voice across the country.

“That is why the party has now decided to hold a nationwide movement on December 24 in support of this demand. On that day, a complete peaceful dharna-demonstration will be held at all district headquarters across the country,” she said.
