BJP wants to disregard backward classes: Karnataka Congress MLC slams Amit Shah over Ambedkar remarks

New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: Senior Congress MLC BK Hariprasad on Sunday hit out at the BJP and RSS saying that it was “ridiculous” for them to preach about patriotism when in the past they have opposed the country’s national flag and the Constitution. Addressing the media in Bengaluru, Hariprasad said that the Congress will launch a series of protests against Union Minister Amit Shah for his recent remarks on Dr BR Ambedkar from Monday from Mysuru. Demanding an apology from Shah, Hariprasad said the former’s statement was of “low-level” and “condemnable”, only reflecting the RSS’ “long-standing intolerance” towards Dr Ambedkar and the Constitution. Replying to Union Minister Pralhad Joshi’s statement that the Congress allegedly tried to subject MLC C T Ravi to a fake encounter, Hariprasad said that Shah was known for such acts and was sent in exile from Gujarat in the past.
