Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge strongly criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his comments about B.R. Ambedkar. Speaking with reporters, Kharge said, “I might not know if chanting God’s name will get me into Heaven, but if we honor Ambedkar in this life, we can achieve equality and self-respect in politics, society, and the economy.”
Kharge pointed out that Shah seems to overlook the importance of Ambedkar and the values of equality, which are central to progress. He believes that as more people embrace the teachings of Ambedkar and Basava, the influence of the RSS (a Hindu nationalist organization) will fade.
Kharge also mentioned that Amit Shah had accused the Congress party of twisting his words about Ambedkar in the Rajya Sabha (a house of Parliament), saying that the Congress is trying to portray itself as anti-Ambedkar and anti-reservation. Shah claimed the Congress often misrepresents statements to create confusion.
