Congress anti-Ambedkar, distorted my statement: Amit Shah

NEW DELHI: Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday accused the Congress of twisting facts and distorting his comments on B R Ambedkar in the Rajya Sabha, asserting that it launched the malicious campaign after the discussion on Constitution “established” the opposition party as being “anti-Ambedkar and anti-reservation”.

Addressing a press conference, Shah said the Congress was left with no answer following the discussion in Parliament. The party, he added, has adopted the tactic of misrepresenting and distorting statements, including those of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and then creating an uproar to mislead people.

He asserted that his address in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday was clear and without any confusion, and is on the record of the House. He said he comes from a party and an ideology that can never insult the architect of the Constitution and his ideas, not “even in dreams”.
