Congress was unjust to Ambedkar : Advani
New Delhi, Apr 14 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) primeministerial candidate L K Advani on Tuesday accused the Congress of being unjust towards the chief architect of Indian constitution Bhim Rao Ambedkar.
Talking to reporters here on the occasion of 118th birth anniversary of Ambedkar, Advani said that the Congress planned the defeat of Dr. Ambedkar in the 1952 general elections.
"In the year 1950, the constitution was passed, first general elections were held in the year 1952. If they (Congress) included him (Ambedkar) in the ministry and made him a law minister and Chairman of Constitution Drafting Committee, he could have been sent to the Lok Sabha. But he was defeated in a planned way. They did not allow him to win, Dr Ambedkar lost the 1952 polls, " said Advani.
Advani, who was attending the flagging off ceremony of a Dalit awareness march, also attacked Congress President Sonia Gandhi for her statement that India was in greater danger from people within than from foreign terrorists.
Terming the statement as 'unfortunate', he said, "Taliban is spreading its wings in Afghanistan, this is only a question of time that they will take over Afghanistan. And how far it is from us, they are so close."
"It has posed a big danger and the leaders of the Congress party do not understand. In the midst of such dangers it is being said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is a bigger terrorist, (implying) that terrorists are not so dreadful, it is very unfortunate," added Advani. (ANI)
