The Opposition’s protest in Parliament in opposition to Union House Minister Amit Shah over his remarks on Dr B R Ambedkar within the Rajya Sabha spilled to the Uttar Pradesh Meeting on Thursday as SP and Congress MLAs entered the Nicely of the Home, accusing the BJP governments on the Centre and state of getting “anti-Dalit mindset”.
Consequently, neither the Query Hour nor a dialogue on the Supplementary Funds and Maha Kumbh came about within the Meeting earlier than the Speaker adjourned the Home sine die.
Because the Home convened on Thursday, SP legislators entered the Nicely of the Home holding pictures of Ambedkar and elevating slogans like “Baba sahab ka yeh apman, nahi sahega Hindustan”, and “Jai Bhim”.
Elevating the difficulty of Amit Shah’s remarks, Chief of the Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey stated: “This authorities, each in Delhi and in Lucknow, is displaying disrespect to Ambedkar ji. BJP ek jatiwadi social gathering ban gayi hai (BJP has turn out to be a casteist social gathering). BJP Ambedkar ji ka apman kar rahi hai.. Wo PDA ke bhagwan hai (BJP is disrespecting Ambedkar, who’s the god of the PDA).”
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna claimed that it was the NDA authorities that gave “due respect” to Ambedkar by creating the locations related to him.
“Not solely did NDA develop the Panch Teerth, PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath are working in accordance to the Structure laid down by Ambedkar. It’s they (Congress) that modified the Preamble of the Structure, and have proven utmost disrespect to Baba Shahab,” stated Khanna.
Speaker Satish Mahana, in the meantime, requested the Opposition MLAs to return to their seats, saying it was vital to observe the teachings of Ambedkar who advocated dialogue on problems with public curiosity and maintaining the curiosity of public above all.
Nevertheless, the SP legislators continued to boost slogans. Mahana complained SP MLAs have been holding the pictures of Ambedkar “in several instructions”, thereby disrespecting him. “It’s in opposition to the ethics and humanity to make use of the picture of Babasaheb for private curiosity and private political agenda,” the Speaker stated. As there was no let-up in protest by SP MLAs, the Speaker adjourned the Home sine die, a day forward of the scheduled conclusion of the winter session.
