Taking Ambedkar's name has become "fashion"- Amit Shah

Amit Shah addressed the House on Tuesday during a debate on the completion of 75 years of the Constitution. During this, Amit Shah fiercely targeted the Congress party. During this, he had said that taking the name of B.R. Ambedkar has become "fashion".

"Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai -- Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar Bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to repeatedly invoke Ambedkar's name. If they had taken God’s name as often, they would have earned a place in heaven)," Amit Shah had said.

"The hatred towards Ambedkar is visible not only in words but also in the body language of the Sangh BJP leaders. Social inequality, disparity, inequality, untouchability, discrimination, hatred and hatred towards the Constitution-Dalits-deprived-neglected are in the blood of Sangh BJP leaders. The real followers of Babasaheb Ambedkar do not even look towards the BJP people and now even after insulting the great man Ambedkar Saheb, if someone is directly or indirectly with the BJP, it means that he is a worshiper and staunch sycophant of Golwalkar, Ambedkar and BJP people," he added.
