Any nation will proudly celebrate its rich culture,heritage and national leaders who fought for the freedom of the country and prevent its rich tradition.
However it seems all parties and leaders are marginalising freedom fighters for their petty politics and vote banks. Congress party which ruled the nation for most of the time only highlighted Gandhi and Nehru and in the process conveniently ignored and marginalised Bhagat Singh,Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose,Sardar Patel, Chandra Sekhar Azad etc.
Now with Modi led BJP coming to power it is planning to highlight its set of national leaders like Madan Mohan Maviviya, Veer Savarkar, Hegdewar, Sardar Patel etc. Congress which is in opposition fearing that it is losing its clout is now deciding to celebrate Ambedkar’s 125th birth anniversary celebrations. Sonia Gandhi is heading the 21 member panel to eulogize Ambedkar.
However Congress may not have the mileage as BJP and other dalit outfits for long tried to claim Ambedkar as their leader. They are planning to celebrate grandly and this political fight over national leaders who are precious treasure to the nation, many feel is insulting the country.
