"Is Standing Up For Dr Ambedkar Against Insult To Him A Joke For BJP?": Congress' KC Venugopal
Congress MP KC Venugopal reacted to a photo shared by the BJP on its official handle on X which shows INDIA Bloc MPs holding the photo of George Soros during their protest in the Parliament.

The Opposition MPs including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Sanjay Singh on Wednesday held a protest by carrying Dr BR Ambedkar's photo in their hands.

Congress' Venugopal posted on X, "The BJP is brazen in its insult and ridicule of Dr Ambedkar. Instead of submitting ensuring the Home Minister is removed from his post for the immense hurt caused to the crores of Babasaheb's followers by Amit Shah's statements, they are doubling down on the ridicule. Is standing up for Dr. Ambedkar against the insult to him a matter of joke for the BJP? They are bringing in their rotten falsehoods even on a sensitive matter like Dr Ambedkar's legacy, because they do not respect him and want to diminish his stature for their narrow political goals."
