The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday wrote to key allies of the BJP, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Andhra Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, questioning their stance on home minister Amit Shah's recent remarks about architect of Constitution, Dr BR Ambedkar.

In a post on X in Hindi, Kejriwal said, " The people of the country want to ask Honorable Nitish Ji and Chandrababu Naidu Ji - "Do you support the insult of Baba Saheb done by Amit Shah Ji?"

In his letter to Naidu and Kumar, Kejriwal voiced his concern over Shah’s statement in Parliament over Ambedkar. "Recently in Parliament, a statement made by the home minister of the country, Amit Shah Ji, regarding Babasaheb has left the entire nation stunned," he wrote.

AAP supremo referred to Shah’s remark, which claimed that "chanting Ambedkar-Ambedkar has become a fashion these days," as deeply disrespectful. He said that it is "not only disrespectful but also reveals the BJP's perspective towards Babasaheb and our Constitution."

He further added, "Babasaheb Ambedkar was honoured with a 'Doctor of Laws' degree by Columbia University, he authored the Indian Constitution, and he championed equal rights for the most marginalised sections of society—how did the BJP have the audacity to make such a comment about him?"

"This has hurt the sentiments of millions of people across the country. Instead of apologising for his statement, Amit Shah Ji justified it. The Prime Minister publicly supported Amit Shah Ji's remark, which added insult to injury," former Delhi CM said in his letter.
