Mamata Banerjee Slams Amit Shah's Controversial Remarks

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee strongly criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks in the Rajya Sabha, labeling them as evidence of the BJP's casteist and anti-Dalit mindset. She claimed Shah’s comments about BR Ambedkar were derogatory and an insult to millions who admire Ambedkar.

In a sharp rebuke, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of making derogatory remarks about BR Ambedkar, reflecting what she terms the BJP's 'casteist and anti-Dalit mindset.'

Banerjee, leader of the Trinamool Congress, expressed her outrage on X, calling Shah's comments in the Rajya Sabha an insult to the revered architect of India's Constitution and the millions who idolize him. The controversy arises as the Parliament celebrates 75 years of the Constitution across debates.

The TMC alleges that Shah's remarks were not accidental but a deliberate action rooted in a broader agenda of social division. The party is demanding a public apology, as the issue has fueled intense political debate. Congress leaders also criticized Shah’s speech, sharing snippets on social media.
