Congress to decide 2025 action plan, take up Ambedkar ‘insult’ issue at Belagavi CWC meet

New Delhi - In a bid to get battle-ready for challenges ahead, the Congress will decide on an action plan for the next year at its CWC meeting named 'Nav Satyagraha Baithak' being held in Karnataka's Belagavi to mark the 100th anniversary of the Belgaum session presided over by Mahatma Gandhi. The opposition party asserted that the "insult" to BR Ambedkar by Union Home Minister Amit Shah would be taken up for deliberation at Belagavi and that there would be a "strong follow-up" on the issue. Addressing a joint press conference along with Congress general secretary organisation KC Venugopal and AICC media and publicity department head Pawan Khera, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the extended Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting on December 26 had been named 'Nav Satyagraha Baithak' which would see two resolutions being passed. Ramesh said the Congress is marking the current week as the 'Ambedkar Samman Saptah' against the "insult" of BR Ambedkar by Shah. He said there is only one solution to the issue which is that the home minister be sacked and must apologise for his remarks.
