Patna, the political atmosphere has heated up over the statement made by Home Minister Amit Shah in the Lok Sabha on Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. RJD workers protested against this statement in Jehanabad and took out a revenge march and burnt the effigy of Amit Shah in Arwal.
RJD MLA strongly condemned
Local MLA Suday Yadav, who was leading the protest, termed the Home Minister's statement as 'extremely condemnable'. He said that Baba Saheb Ambedkar took the country forward on the path of development by creating the Constitution of India. The world salutes his efforts to bring the poor, backward and Dalit society into the mainstream. By giving a statement against such a great person, the Home Minister has hurt the sentiments of 90% of the people of the country. Warning of agitation
Sudhay Yadav warned that if Home Minister Amit Shah does not apologize for his statement, RJD will launch a big agitation. He said that this effigy burning is just a message that Baba Saheb Ambedkar is the messiah of the poor and the Dalits.

What is the controversy over the statement?

However, Amit Shah had said in the Lok Sabha that it has become a fashion now- Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar... If you take this many names of God, you will get heaven for seven lives. Regarding this statement, RJD has alleged that this statement has raised questions on the contribution of Baba Saheb and his ideals.

Mention of Baba Saheb's contribution
MLA Sudhay Yadav underlined the contribution of Baba Saheb and said that through the creation of the Constitution, he gave the right to equality and justice to the poor, Dalit and backward classes. He worked to bring the oppressed class of the society into the mainstream by giving them reservation. Ambedkar gave such guidance to India, due to which the country is still developing.

RJD's clear message
RJD workers gave the message through their demonstration that any kind of comment against Baba Saheb Ambedkar will not be tolerated. While raising slogans during the demonstration, they said that anyone who insults Ambedkar will be called a traitor.
