Maharashtra CM Fadnavis accuses Congress of "doing politics" over Amit Shah's remark on BR Ambedkar

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], December 24 : Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday accused the Congress of playing politics by sharing an "edited" video on X of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on B R Ambedkar.
CM Fadnavis demanded an apology from the Congress, alleging that they had "spoiled" the Parliament session.
"The Congress party should first apologise for editing the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah and politicising it. They disrupted the Parliament session. Prime Minister Modi, during his speech in Parliament, exposed how the Congress has repeatedly insulted the Constitution--from Nehru to Indira, from Rajiv to Sonia," CM Fadnavis said.
The Chief Minister added that the Congress was frustrated after PM Modi "exposed" their leaders for "continuously insulting" the Constitution.
"Congress is acting out of frustration because it has been revealed how its leaders, from Nehru ji to Rahul Gandhi, have consistently insulted the Constitution and denied reservation. This is the same Congress that has continually disrespected Baba Saheb," CM Fadnavis said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had reportedly said in the Rajya Sabha, "If they (the Opposition) had taken the name of God as many times as they take Ambedkar's name, they would have secured heaven for seven lives."
On December 19, the Congress alleged that the social media platform X had informed them via email that the Ministry of Home Affairs and the IT Ministry had directed the removal of the video featuring Amit Shah, claiming it violated Indian laws.
Speaking to ANI, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate stated that X had communicated this information in the interest of transparency.
"This is the email that X has sent to Congress leaders--including INC, Jairam Ramesh, myself, and others. In the email, X says that the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Information and Broadcasting Ministry have asked them to remove the video of Amit Shah, claiming it violates Indian laws. Which law of India is being violated? Twitter has clarified that while they aim to protect the right to express, they are informing us about this in the spirit of transparency," Shrinate said.
"What is Amit Shah afraid of? What is he trying to hide? What kind of language has been used? Amit Shah has committed an unforgivable mistake. He should be punished, apologise, and be removed from his position," she added.
Amit Shah's remark on Ambedkar has sparked a political controversy, with the Congress organising nationwide protests condemning the Union Minister's statement.
