'Unconstitutional, unethical insult of Baba Saheb Ambedkar': Yogi Adityanath calls out Congress

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday (December 24, 2024) launched a scathing attack on the Congress as he accused the party of repeatedly disrespecting 'the architect of India's Constitution' B.R. Ambedkar during his lifetime and undermining his legacy after his death.

Mr. Adityanath also claimed that India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was against Ambedkar's inclusion in the Drafting Committee of the Constitution.

He made the remarks in a press conference at his official residence at 5 Kalidas Marg, amid ongoing controversy triggered by Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on Ambedkar in Rajya Sabha last week.
