New Delhi, Nov 26: BJP on Friday hit out at the opposition for boycotting the ‘Constitution Day’ celebrations in the Central Hall of Parliament today.
BJP termed it as an insult to Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution.
Meanwhile, Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Rajya Sabha MP Prasanna Acharya also slammed the opposition and said , “Since the constitution came into force, we celebrate Constitution Day in the country, I do not find any reason behind boycotting the celebration of the Constitution day. Opposing the day is not a good message”.
14 parties including Congress, Left, TMC, RJD, SS, NCP, SP, IUML and the DMK to boycott ‘Constitution Day’ celebrations in Central Hall.
Congress, which created a big hue and cry during Nehru’s birth anniversary program, is leading the boycott.
This is an insult to Dr Ambedkar.

Congress never acknowledged Dr Ambedkar’s legacy and rise.
Babasaheb was given Bharat Ratna in 1990 and his photo was put up in the Central Hall of the Parliament, decades later, under a non-Congress Govt.
Parties like Congress, SP boycotting Constitution Day are anti-Dalit.
