Kerala Congress to march to District Collectorates over Amit Shah’s remark on Ambedkar, election rule change
The HinduThe Congress will stage marches to District Collectorates in Kerala on December 24 to highlight Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s allegedly disparaging comments about the late Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the iconic chairperson of the committee that drafted the Indian Constitution. All India Congress Committee general secretary, K. C. Venugopal, MP, told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram that Congress activists would meet the respective District Collectors and submit a signed petition seeking Mr. Shah’s resignation. Mr. Venugopal said the Union Government had recently amended the Conduct of Election Rules to restrict public access to the final voter’s list. Mr. Venugopal said the Centre had hurriedly amended the Conduct of Election rules after the High Court in Haryana ordered the ECI to release the documents sought by INDIA bloc allies.
