Tripura Congress to hold 'Baba Saheb Ambedkar samman march' in protest against Amit Shah's statement on Dr. Ambedkar.
“The Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) will hold a ‘Baba Saheb Ambedkar samman march’ on December 24, 2024, in protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in Parliament on Dr. Ambedkar,” said a senior party leader on Sunday (December 22, 2024).
Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman told a press conference in Agartala that the party will organise the march in all district headquarters to condemn the remark of Mr. Shah on Dr. Ambedkar.
“We will organise the march in all district headquarters on December 24 to condemn the remark and also to demand an unconditional apology from the Union Home Minister for his remark. Party leaders and workers will join the march and garland the statue of the main architect of our constitution,” he said.
“The Union Home Minister’s remark on Baba Saheb Ambedkar in Parliament is not a slip of the tongue as they are trying to highlight. It is a calculative remark which exposes the party (BJP) mindset about the father of the constitution”, Mr. Roy Barman said.
He claimed that Mr. Shah has not expressed any repentance for the remark on Baba Saheb Ambedkar, who is the main architect of the Constitution.
Mr. Roy Barman alleged the BJP has wrongly dragged the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi by lodging an FIR to downplay the real issue from the eyes of the people.
