In a recent controversy, the Congress party has strongly criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for replacing images of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar with those of US billionaire George Soros in a social media post. This incident occurred during a protest by the INDIA bloc MPs against Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks about Ambedkar.
The BJP’s social media post, which altered the images held by the protesting MPs, has sparked outrage among Congress leaders. They have accused the BJP of disrespecting Ambedkar’s legacy and attempting to divert attention from the core issues raised during the protest.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala stated, “This is a blatant attempt by the BJP to undermine the contributions of Dr. Ambedkar, a key architect of our Constitution and a champion of social justice. Replacing his image with that of George Soros is not only disrespectful but also shows the BJP’s disregard for the values Ambedkar stood for.”
The controversy has ignited a broader debate on the use of social media by political parties and the ethical implications of altering images for political gain. Many have called for stricter regulations to prevent such incidents and ensure that the legacy of national icons like Dr. Ambedkar is preserved and respected.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how the BJP will respond to the criticism and whether any measures will be taken to address the concerns raised by the Congress party and other political observers.
