The recent Parliament session has exposed the double face of the ruling BJP at the Centre, especially its celebratory mood of observing the 75th anniversary of the Constitution and at the same time defaming the architect of the Constitution B R Ambedkar, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said on Saturday.
Compared to the BJP members, the DMK MPs performed better during the just concluded winter session, emerging as “heroes in raising the people’s voice,” the chief minister claimed.
“The country is amazed by the performance of the DMK MPs for raising issues on the state rights and in attracting the attention of the House,” Stalin said in a statement here and lauded his party’s MPs.
“On one hand, the Centre celebrated the journey of 75 years under the Constitution but on the other disrespected Ambedkar,” Stalin said, slamming the Centre.
The prime minister maintained silence on many issues though he should have taken the responsibility to answer, while the BJP members tried to disrupt “democracy” in the Parliament, he said.
“The winter session is a testament to how parliamentary democracy has been thrown away by the BJP government. Union Home Minister (Amit Shah) himself defamed Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, thus exposing the BJP’s elite fascist face,” Stalin alleged.
