Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the media and accused the Congress party of repeatedly opposing Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and distorting his legacy. During a discussion in Parliament, Shah emphasized how Congress allegedly mocked Ambedkar even after his death and criticized their stance on honouring the architect of the Indian Constitution. Watch Oneindia's Pankaj Mishra and Yogesh Ranta decode what does this media address mean.

00:00The Congress party has once again tried to break the rules and try to spread lies in the society by wearing the clothes of untruth.
00:16So now you have heard how Amit Shah, who is also a Home Minister, gave a clarification on his statement that he gave in the Parliament yesterday.
00:24Yogesh is with me. I am Pankaj Kumar Mishra. We will soon discuss this new way in which the BJP is trying to counter a narrative.
00:32But Yogesh, before that, let's quickly tell our viewers what did Amit Shah say yesterday that caused a complete uproar?
00:54You have heard it, right? I will tell you. We are happy that you are taking Ambedkar's name.
00:58Take Ambedkar's name more than a hundred times now, but I will tell you what your feelings are towards Ambedkar.
01:05Why did Ambedkar resign from the country's first cabinet?
01:10Ambedkar said many times that I am dissatisfied with the behavior of uneducated castes and ethnicities.
01:16I am dissatisfied with the foreign policy of the government and I am dissatisfied with Article 370.
01:21That is why he wanted to leave. He was given assurance.
01:25The assurance was not fulfilled. He resigned due to ignorance.
01:29And one Mr. B. C. Roy wrote a letter that what will happen if Ambedkar and Rajaji, i.e. two people, leave the cabinet?
01:37So Nehruji has written to him in reply that Rajaji's departure will cause a little loss.
01:42Ambedkar's departure does not weaken the cabinet.
01:46Mr. Kharge, what is the objection that you are opposing? Is it right to give a name for his vote?
01:54Because now the people who believe in Mr. Ambedkar have come in a sufficient number. That is why you are saying Ambedkar.
02:00So Yakesh, we have seen this whole matter from Amit Shah's yesterday's statement and even today.
02:05In 24 hours, in a very new way, I have never seen a BJP like this before.
02:09To clarify a controversy, a quote-unquote controversy, do a press conference.
02:14Absolutely. We will have to see. Amit Shah did a press conference for about 25 minutes today.
02:18And I don't remember when Amit Shah did a press conference last time.
02:22He came in front of the media and today in a press conference of 25 minutes,
02:26where he said the things that we have also said, that this has been said in detail.
02:31He told the availability that what we have done for Babasaheb Ambedkar,
02:36we have made a memorial and other things. He has counted everything.
02:39And he has also attacked Congress.
02:41Kiran Rizvi, who was present in that press conference with Amit Shah,
02:44J.B. Nutt and Ashwani Vaishnav were also present with him. Amit Shah himself was present.
02:49So from this we can guess that the words that he said in the Lok Sabha yesterday,
02:55and the speech that he said, with that, what kind of chaos was going on all day today,
03:02on the entire media, on social media.
03:04Although since yesterday, people have been in an attacking mode with this statement of Amit Shah.
03:08Although, he has said it again and again today.
03:10And it is very surprising that he used the words, I request the media,
03:15that my entire statement should be shown.
03:18So that statement, although it will have to be accepted that the era of social media,
03:22the era of cut-paste, what is being cut from where,
03:25most of it is being suffered by Khamyaza.
03:29If you listen to Amit Shah's entire statement, then what he said in the beginning,
03:33then maybe he got stuck there, in such a casual way,
03:36and in a common tone, in a very satirical tone, he should not have said that.
03:42That Ambedkar has been doing Ambedkar for so many years,
03:45if he had taken the name of God, then as we have heard.
03:48He got a place in heaven.
03:50So he was in a way upset about the same portion.
03:54Although if you listen to his entire statement, then he remained in an attacking mode.
03:59The first cabinet of Congress, Nehru, how Ambedkar had to resign,
04:03why he had to resign, what we did.
04:05All those things he has said that people who believe in Ambedkar have come to the parliament a lot.
04:11So now Congress is doing Ambedkar for votes.
04:14But what did Congress do with Ambedkar in the past?
04:16He said all those things and he said the same in the press conference that my entire statement should be told.
04:21But that portion which was around 15-20 seconds,
04:26in which he tried to attack Ambedkar in a different tone,
04:30that became so heavy on him,
04:32and it became so heavy that today he himself had to come and give clarification in front of the media.
04:39As I said, this is a very unorthodox way of BJP,
04:44where BJP comes out on their own shortcomings and talks to the press.
04:51Two-three more things I would like to know from you,
04:55Amit Shah has taken the name of Congress around 60-70 times in this 25-minute press conference.
05:02After some time I even left the count.
05:04He had a strategy that strike the iron when it is hot,
05:11and strike where it has the most impact.
05:14He took the name of Congress.
05:15Whereas Bheem Army, which is considered to be Ambedkar's representative party,
05:20they also have their representation in the Lok Sabha.
05:25He never took their name.
05:26They are also quite hidden from this.
05:28Priyanka Gandhi, the way she was standing with the politicians today,
05:32day after tomorrow Palestine, tomorrow Bangladesh, and today suddenly Ambedkar's picture.
05:36New strategy.
05:37Absolutely.
05:38The matter is that who is the biggest party in opposition?
05:41Congress.
05:42Who is the LOP?
05:43Rahul Gandhi.
05:44He is the leader of Congress.
05:45So there will have to be attacking.
05:46The way Malik Arjun Khadge met Rahul Gandhi today.
05:50Malik Arjun Khadge also held a press conference.
05:52He asked for resignation.
05:54And he said that the Prime Minister should fire him.
05:58The picture of the day that you are talking about,
06:00Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi both took Ambedkar's picture.
06:03Yes.
06:04Yes.
06:05Yes.
