Congress steps up campaign over Amit Shah’s remarks on Dr. Ambedkar

The Hindu  

Stepping up its campaign against Home Minister Amit Shah for his comment that it has become a “fashion” to take Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s name, the Congress on Saturday announced a plan to hold countrywide press conferences and Ambedkar samman marches in the next few days. “On 24 December, all across the country, we will hold Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman Marches and submit a memorandum to President of India through District Collectors demanding Amit Shah’s resignation,” Mr. Venugopal added. Speaking to reporters in Parliament, Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, said Mr. Shah’s comment reflected the “anti-reservation mindset”. Bring allies together Importantly, the protests and the face-off with NDA MPs in Parliament over the alleged insult to Ambedkar and, subsequently, BJP MPs getting a first information report registered against Mr. Gandhi for allegedly pushing two of their colleagues allowed members of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance to join ranks with the Congress.
