Cong to hold protests in Jharkhand on Tuesday over Shah’s remarks on Ambedkar

RANCHI: Jharkhand Congress will organise the ‘Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman March’ in all district headquarters of the state on December 24 to protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remark on the chief architect of the country’s Constitution, a party leader said on Monday.

The party will seek Shah’s resignation over his recent comment on Dr BR Ambedkar during a Constitution debate in the Rajya Sabha, he said.

“The BJP has been insulting the Constitution and its chief architect Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. Shah’s remarks belittled Ambedkar. We will not tolerate it,” senior Congress leader and former minister Rameshwar Oraon said addressing media persons here.
