A dirty game for votes, in the name of Dr Ambedkar
Whatever happened at the Makar Dwar of Parliament on the penultimate day of the winter session is unbelievable. In brief, here is how the incident unfolded: On Wednesday, home minister Amit Shah mentioned Dr Ambedkar in his address to the Rajya Sabha. Former chief minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal shot off a letter to the Janata Dal-United leader Nitish Kumar and Telugu Desam Party supremo Chandrababu Naidu urging them to part ways with those who disrespect Ambedkar. It has been 68 years since Ambedkar left us, and politicians today are busy trying to appropriate his legacy to suit their political compulsions. We should keep in mind that any incarnation of the divine or personality—be it Lord Ram, Mahatma Gandhi, or Dr Ambedkar—in whose name votes can be secured at the elections, is condemned to be the target of raucous and emotionally charged debate in Parliament.
