“This is the same mentality which damages Baba Saheb’s statues installed at various places. This is an insult to Baba Saheb. This is an insult to the Constitution maker,” she said while speaking to the media.

He said that whoever believes in Dr Ambedkar’s vision won’t tolerate his legacy being tarnished. “Every Indian who proudly believes and fights for Babasaheb’s vision of free and just India, where all are born equal, will never tolerate the great man’s legacy to be tarnished,” he said.

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.”

Congress, on the other hand, continues to talk but does nothing,” he wrote.

“A Super Mall Of Hatred Has Been Set Up”: Congress MP Jairam Ramesh On Union Minister Amit Shah’s Speech
Reacting to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s speech in Rajya Sabha during the Constitution debate, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, says “A super mall of hatred has been set up everywhere in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, bulldozers are being run every day…We wanted a discussion on the Constitution but they talked about what happened 50 years ago, what happened 75 years ago, what happened during the emergency…They talk about ‘One Nation, One Election’ but yesterday there were many speakers and one speech. Someone wrote the same speech for Nirmala Sitharaman, Hardeep Singh Puri, JP Nadda, Bhupinder Yadav and Amit Shah, all the speeches are the same. It was like I was seeing a film in which the producer, director, actor and screenwriter are one. It’s just him…”

‘One Nation, One Poll’ Bill Changes The Structure Of The Constitution: Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav

Parliament Winter Session Update
On ‘One Nation One Poll’ Bill not getting the majority votes in the Lok Sabha, Congress MP Imran Masood congratulated BJP MPs for absenteeism. He said, the BJP wants to “destroy the multi-party system” in the country.

“As soon as it was tabled (in Lok Sabha), it became clear that it cannot be passed. 360 MPs are required to get this passed but 20 MPs of their (NDA) total strength were absent since this is lethal for the country. You are dealing a blow to the soul of the Constitution. You want to break the federal structure…You are preparing to finish the small parties. In 7-10 years, small parties would be finished,” he said.

Parliament Winter Session Update: Congress’ Adjournment Motion Notice Over Amit Shah’s Remarks
Congress MP Manickam Tagore has given an Adjournment Motion Notice in Lok Sabha to discuss Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks regarding Dr BR Ambedkar.

In his notice, Mr Tagore wrote, “He (Amit Shah) further trivialized Dr. Ambedkar’s monumental contribution by suggesting that those who invoke his name as frequently as the Congress does would attain “swarg” (heaven). This blasphemous statement is an attempt to undermine Dr. Ambedkar’s pivotal role in drafting the Indian Constitution, which guarantees equality, justice, and dignity for all citizens, especially the marginalized communities.”

The Congress Party has urged the House to “take a strong stand against this disrespect” and has demanded an unqualified apology.

Recap: “Curtailed Freedom Of Expression”: Union Home Minister Amit Shah Attacks Congress
Union home minister Amit Shah argued that if the Congress could change the constitution 77 times and even introduce a clause that curtails freedom of expression, they cannot object to the ‘One Nation, One Poll’ Bill on the ground that it would require constitutional amendment.

Speaking in the Rajya Sabha during the two-day Constitution debate, Mr Shah said, “Another amendment was brought by Indira Gandhi which gave Parliament the power to curtail the fundamental rights of the citizens”.

Then mentioning Article 19A, he questioned why it was brought in. “To curtail the freedom of expression,” he added amid loud protest from Congress members.

Recap: ‘One Nation, One Poll’ Bill Tabled In Lok Sabha
Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced the ‘One Nation, One Poll’, a constitutional amendment bill in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Once approved, the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, popularly referred to as the Bill on ‘One Nation, One Poll’, will ensure Lok Sabha, Assembly, and local body (urban or rural) elections are held in the same year, if not at the same time. This was the norm from independence to 1967.

To pass a bill, two-third majority (307 votes) required. 269 voted in favour of the motion while 198 members opposed it.

For now, the bill will be sent to a joint committee for “wider consultation”. The composition of the joint committee – which will also include Rajya Sabha MPs – will be settled by Speaker Om Birla in 48 hours (Thursday). This deadline is key because this Parliament session ends Friday. If a committee is not named and tasked, the bill lapses and must be re-introduced in the next session.
