New Delhi, December 19, 2024: A heated faceoff took place in the Lok Sabha today as BJP Members of Parliament (MPs) staged a protest against the Congress party, leading to an uproar in the house. The protest was triggered by recent comments made by Congress leaders, which BJP MPs claimed were disrespectful to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his contributions to India’s social and political fabric.
As the BJP MPs raised slogans and demanded an apology from Congress, the atmosphere in the Lok Sabha became increasingly tense. The Speaker of the House had to intervene multiple times as the protests disrupted the proceedings. Despite efforts to restore order, the situation escalated, resulting in the adjournment of the session.
The BJP’s protest further underscored the growing political divide between the two parties, especially over issues related to social justice and the legacy of Dr. Ambedkar. Both sides exchanged sharp words, with Congress accusing the BJP of politicizing Ambedkar’s legacy for electoral gain, while BJP MPs insisted that Congress had undermined his legacy. The ongoing standoff has raised concerns over the stability of the Winter Session of Parliament, with the opposition demanding a resolution.
