Raipura: The police in Chhattisgarh on Monday used Water cannons to disperse the protest of Indian Youth Congress workers who were protesting against union Minister Amit Shah’s remarks about Ambedker in the parliament.
The protesters while raising slogans hailing congress MP’s and Rahul Gandhi demanded an apology from the Home Minister Amit Shah.
The Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai has demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah amid protests over alleged remarks against BR Ambedkar.
He should resign as he has insulted Baba Bhimrao Ambedkar, or (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi ji should sack him.
He (Amit Shah) has insulted Ambedkar ji across the country. A movement is ongoing nationwide. He should apologise and step down. Opposition parties have accused Amit Shah of showing disrespect towards Ambedkar, a charge denied by the senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader.
BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, speaking on Monday, accused the Congress party of hypocrisy regarding the legacy of former Law and Justice Minister BR Ambedkar and the protection of SC/ST communities.
Prasad criticised the Congress for forcing Ambedkar to resign during elections and preventing the construction of his memorial, while now using his name for political purposes.
Earlier Shah in parliament remarked in the Rajya Sabha, “If they (the opposition) had taken the name of God as many times as they take Ambedkar’s name, they would have attained heaven for seven lives.
Following Shah’s remarks, Parliament witnessed parallel protests from both the Treasury and Opposition benches last week. The demonstrations culminated in a scuffle between the two sides, leaving two BJP MPs, Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, injured.
