CM Siddaramaiah attacks PM Modi and RSS in Facebook post on Ambedkar Jayanti
Bengaluru: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, in a Facebook post on Ambedkar Jayanti, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS for their stance on the Constitution.
He quoted Modi's statement that "even if Ambedkar is reborn, the Constitution cannot be changed," suggesting Modi should have said, "No matter what the RSS leaders say, the constitution cannot be changed." Siddaramaiah emphasized that the danger to the Constitution comes from the RSS and its leaders, not Ambedkar or his followers.
He highlighted historical statements from RSS leaders criticizing the Constitution and its lack of Indianness, contrasting them with Ambedkar's contributions.
In his post Siddaramaiah mentioned an excerpt from the editorial lines of RSS mouthpiece' 'Organizer’. The editorial read as follows - 'The worst thing about the Constitution of India is that there is no Indianness in it. There are no laws, no constitutions, no phrases of ancient India... Manu had created these rules here before Lycurgus of Sparta or Solon of Persia could write them. Even today the laws mentioned by Manu in the Manusmriti are respected by the world and are subject to natural obedience and adherence. But none of this matters to the pundits who drafted our constitution’
Siddaramaiah urged Modi to clarify his stance on these issues and questioned whether he agrees with the RSS's views on the Constitution. He also criticized the RSS's admiration for Manusmriti and questioned Modi's alignment with the organization's views. He also questioned Modi over the views of Savarkar and Golwalkar on the Manusmriti and the Constitution. Siddaramaiah's post concluded with the hashtag #RSSagainstConstitution.
