Shah’s remarks on BR Ambedkar have stirred a massive political slugfest, with the Opposition seizing on the comments to corner the BJP-led central government.
The Congress has planned a countrywide protest on Thursday seeking Union home minister Amit Shah’s resignation amid a row related to his remarks on BR Ambedkar, which he made on Tuesday in Rajya Sabha during the ongoing Parliament Winter Session.The Congress will protest across the country in all Pradesh Pradesh Congress Committees (PCC) at state and district headquarter, news agency ANI reported.
Amit Shah’s remarks on BR Ambedkar have stirred a massive political slugfest, with the Congress-led Opposition seizing on the comments to corner the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government.The attack, which came from almost all opposition parties, including Congress, TMC, DMK, RJD, Left parties, and Shiv Sena-UBT, led to the adjournment of both Houses of Parliament on Wednesday and prompted the BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to defend Amit Shah.
Amit Shah, too, held a press conference on Wednesday and accused Congress of being “anti-BR Ambedkar and anti-Constitution”.
