An ST and SC atrocity case must be lodged against Amith Shah for his derogatory comments against Ambedkar, they said.Amit Shah's comments have hurt the feelings of weaker sections. He must apologise unconditionally to all of them and the BJP must remove him from his position as home minister immediately, otherwise Congress leaders along with people of all sections will teach a lesson to the BJP, they warned.
