New Delhi, Dec 24 (PTI) The Congress on Tuesday organised protest marches across Delhi against Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks about Babasaheb Ambedkar, and demanded his apology and resignation.
Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav said a memorandum was also submitted to the President of India through the respective district collector.
These protest marches are aimed at reaffirming the Congress party’s commitment to protecting the legacy of Ambedkar who remains a beacon of justice and equality, Yadav said.
Last week also, Congress workers held a protest against Shah over his comment on Ambedkar made in the Upper House of Parliament.
“Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai – Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar’. If they had taken God’s name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven),” Shah had said. PTI NIT NIT TIR TIR
