Modi on target again for his remarks on Ambedkar Published on April 28, 2010 by admin News4u News desk-Ahmedabad, Gujarat Congress leaders today hit out at Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his remarks on B R Ambedkar embracing Buddhism. During his speech at the launch of his book yesterday, which is a compilation of Modi’s articles and speeches on Ambedkar and social issues, Modi had said Ambedkar embraced Buddhism instead of Islam or Christianity because these religions were not originated in India. According to Congress leaders, Modi has misinterpreted Ambedkar’s social, political and religious views. “Chief Minister said that Ambedkar left Hinduism but did not convert to Islam or Christianity and embraced Budhdhism, which was originated in India,” Congress general secretary Girish Parmar said. “This is CM’s interpretation which is absolutely baseless. He must read Ambedkar to know why he deserted Hinduism to accept Budhdhism as his religion,” he added. ------------------------------------ ---- INFORMATION OVERLOAD?
