Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar’s grandson, Prakash Ambedkar, on Monday claimed that PM Modi does not believe in Hindu nurses and hence he took the coronavirus vaccination jab from Christian nurses.

Prakash Ambedkar’s now-deleted tweet

In a now-deleted tweet, Prakash Ambedkar said that PM Modi speaks about Hindu loyalty day in and day out, but when it came to taking vaccination, he did not have faith in Hindu nurses. “Hence he took the vaccine jab from a Christian nurse. What a behaviour,” he had tweeted.

Following this, netizens condemned his distasteful twee.

People also pointed out how this kind of tweet was a blot on the legacy of his grandfather, Dr B R Ambedkar, who is credited for drafting the Indian Constitution.

Few hours later, Ambedkar deleted his tweet without giving any explanation.
