Subject: Strong Condemnation of Remarks Made by Shri Amit Shah on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
Respected Rashtrapati Ji,
With the utmost respect for your esteemed office, the undersigned organizations write to you as a concerned citizen deeply disturbed by recent remarks made by Shri Amit Shah, the Honorable Union Home Minister, about Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution and a revered leader who championed the cause of social justice and equality.
Shri Amit Shah’s statements, which have been widely reported in the media, appear to demean the unparalleled contributions of Dr. Ambedkar to India’s nation-building and his lifelong struggle for the rights of the marginalized. These remarks have hurt the sentiments of millions of Indians, particularly those belonging to marginalized and oppressed communities, who regard Dr. Ambedkar as an icon of social reform and empowerment.
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s vision of justice, equality, and fraternity laid the foundation of our democratic ethos. As the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, he ensured that India would stand as a secular and inclusive democracy, guaranteeing equal rights to all citizens irrespective of caste, creed, religion, or gender. Any attempt to undermine his legacy is an affront not only to his memory but also to the core values enshrined in our Constitution.
As the custodian of the Indian Constitution and the highest authority in the Republic of India, we urge you to take cognizance of this matter and ensure that the dignity and legacy of Dr. Ambedkar are protected. Such remarks, whether made intentionally or otherwise, have the potential to sow discord and weaken the social fabric of our nation.
We respectfully request the following actions:
1. A public clarification and apology from Shri Amit Shah for his remarks, acknowledging the harm caused to the sentiments of millions of Indians.
2. A reaffirmation of the government’s commitment to uphold the values and principles championed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
3. Steps to promote greater awareness of Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions among public officials and the general populace to prevent such incidents in the future.
Dr. Ambedkar’s legacy is not just the pride of one community but a treasure for the entire nation. It is imperative that every citizen, especially those in positions of power, honor and respect his contributions. I trust that your esteemed office will act promptly and judiciously in this matter.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent and sensitive issue.
Below signed organization and Individual remain hopeful that justice and respect for Dr. Ambedkar’s unparalleled legacy will prevail.
