Congress has always insulted Dr. Ambedkar: Chirag Paswan.

Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Monday claimed that Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was always insulted by the Congress. The national president of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) said that the Congress had ensured the defeat of Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, in the Lok Sabha elections. Paswan, MP from Hajipur in Bihar, said after paying tribute at Chaitya Bhoomi in Dadar, Mumbai, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working towards implementing Ambedkar's ideals. This is the reason why the opposition is scared and leaders are showing copies of the Constitution." Ambedkar was cremated at Chaityabhoomi. Paswan said that before 1989, Ambedkar's picture was not put up in the Central Hall of Parliament House, while there were pictures of "three members of the same family" on the walls there.
