"Ulta chor kotwal ko dante": Udit Raj lashes out at BJP leader Ravi Shankar for accusing Congress of hypocrisy

Raj said that it had become the BJP's mentality to speak lies and put their own mistakes onto someone else.

"Ulta chor kotwal ko dante... It has become their mentality to speak lies and put their own mistakes on someone else. Protests all over the country will set their mind right...," Raj said while speaking to ANI.

On December 23, Ravi Shankar Prasad slammed Congress for forcing Ambedkar to resign during elections and preventing him from building a memorial, while now holding a press conference in his name.

The BJP leader also raised concerns about the lack of proper safeguards for SC/STs, claiming that only Muslims have received adequate protection.

He said, "SC/STs have not been given proper protection. Only Muslims have been given safeguards."

Prasad said, "Congress's love for Ambedkar is overflowing. The Congress party had forced Ambedkar to resign during the elections, and they made sure he couldn't build a memorial. Now, Congress is holding a press conference in Ambedkar's name."

He further criticised Congress for not allowing Ambedkar to speak when he was resigning, adding, "When Ambedkar was resigning, he wasn't even allowed to speak."

Prasad questioned the Congress for not making Ambedkar's resignation public, saying, "Congress should explain why Ambedkar's resignation was never made public.

"He also praised the Modi government for honouring Ambedkar with a memorial. "Ambedkar was honoured by the Modi government with a memorial," he added.

Prasad then pointed out that streets have been named after former leaders Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi but no such recognition has been given to Ambedkar.

Further, the BJP MP demanded an apology from Congress for mistreating Ambedkar, "The BJP demands that Congress apologize for the mistreatment of Ambedkar, which is also documented in papers. Kajaralkar was honoured with an award, and this was done by Congress. Ambedkar was never in favour of partition. There is a significant difference in the thinking of the BJP and Congress. We believe in respecting even our staunchest opponents, and we have honoured our opponents with awards as well." (ANI)
