New Delhi [India], December 24 (ANI): Congress leader Jairam Ramesh stated on Tuesday that the best way to resolve the controversy surrounding remarks made about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar by Union Home Minister Amit Shah is for Shah to be removed from his position and apologize to the country.
During a press conference, Ramesh pointed out that for the last week, the Congress party has been holding ‘Ambedkar Samman’ Week, with more than 100 press conferences taking place across different locations. This is a response to what they believe was an insult to Ambedkar by Shah on December 17. Ramesh mentioned that meetings are currently happening in every district, and they are preparing a document to send to the President.
According to reports, Amit Shah had said in the Rajya Sabha that if the opposition talked about God instead of Ambedkar, they would be rewarded in heaven for many lives. After this statement, there were protests both inside and outside Parliament. This led to chaos, with two BJP members, Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, getting hurt.
The BJP members were protesting against the Congress, accusing them of insulting Ambedkar. Meanwhile, the INDIA Bloc MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, staged a protest demanding Amit Shah’s resignation for his comments.
During the protests, both sides claimed that their members were mistreated, and an FIR has been filed against Rahul Gandhi by the Delhi police about the events that transpired
