Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis spoke about the Ambedkar controversy and demanded an apology from the Congress party. He accused Congress of spreading a manipulated video of Home Minister Amit Shah`s speech. Fadnavis claimed that the video was edited to distort Shah’s words, leading to confusion and creating unnecessary issues. The Chief Minister emphasized that such actions were harmful and divisive, and he called on Congress to take responsibility for their actions. He further criticized the opposition party for playing political games at the cost of truth and asked them to apologize for misleading the public with the altered video.

A scuffle broke out between Congress and BJP counsellors during the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation`s general house meeting on December 24. The disagreement was centered around Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillors passed a motion demanding the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. They accused him of making remarks against Ambedkar. In response, BJP councillors criticized Congress, claiming they were trying to downplay Ambedkar’s contributions during Jawaharlal Nehru’s time. The BJP also accused Congress of belittling Ambedkar`s legacy. The situation escalated into a heated argument between the two parties during the meeting.
