Apologise by midnight or resign from cabinet: Kharge to Amit Shah on Ambedkar row [Video]

Congress party launched an all-out attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday, demanding his apology for “disparaging” remarks on B. R. Ambedkar in the Rajya Sabha.

Speaking to the press, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge hit out at Union Minister Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused them of insulting and abusing B. R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution.

“Amit Shah must apologise by midnight for insulting Ambedkar, else quit as the Cabinet minister,” Kharge demanded.

He also took objection to the “shielding” of Amit Shah by Prime Minister Modi and asked why the latter made a series of tweets, in defence of the Home Minister.

“Instead of pulling up the Union Home Minister for his “objectionable” and “unpleasant” comments on the Dalit icon, PM Modi went on supporting him with a series of tweets,” he said.
