  • | Tuesday | 24th June, 2025

The controversy surrounding the installation of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkars statue at the Gwalior High Court premises is deeply unfortunate, stated Madhya Pradesh Congress President Jitu Patwari. He described it as a well-planned conspiracy by anti-constitution forces attempting to undermine the fundamental principles of the nation. Patwari made these remarks while addressing the "Constitution Satyagraha" program held in Bhopal. The program was organized by the Rural District Congress in Mugaliya Chhap and the City District Congress in Sant Hiradram Nagar. "We will fight at every platform to protect the thoughts of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and the Constitution he authored," Patwari said. He added, "The controversy over the statue installation in Gwalior is not just an attack on Baba Saheb but on the very democracy of India." The "Constitution Satyagraha" event was attended by several prominent Congress leaders including former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh, former minister P.C. Sharma, City District Congress President Praveen Saxena, Rural District Congress President Anokhi Patel, along with a large number of Congress workers and the public. Patwari further clarified that the Congress Party will not allow any anti-constitution forces to succeed at any cost. He vowed that the movement to protect Baba Sahebs legacy would intensify across the state. The Congress will ensure that efforts to undermine Dr. Ambedkars ideals and the Constitution are thwarted. This statement comes in response to ongoing protests and controversy surrounding the installation of Dr. Ambedkars statue in Gwalior, which has sparked tensions among political factions. Congress has vowed to stand firm in defense of Dr. Ambedkars principles and the Constitution, which they believe is under attack by forces seeking to destabilize democratic values. Patwaris remarks underline the Congress Partys commitment to protecting the Constitution from any forces that seek to undermine its integrity. The party has pledged to ramp up efforts to safeguard the ideals of equality, justice, and democracy that Dr. Ambedkar espoused. This controversy has become a focal point for political discourse in the state, with various leaders calling for unity in defending the Constitution and the legacy of Dr. Ambedkar, whose vision shaped the foundation of modern India. As the issue continues to gain momentum, Congress has called for statewide protests and awareness campaigns, urging citizens to rally behind the Constitution and its defenders. The party is determined to ensure that any attempts to disrupt the values embedded in the Constitution are met with strong opposition.
