Parliament Winter Session Live Updates: Please follow this space for all the latest news and updates on the Parliament Winter Session. Both Houses of Parliament were rocked with uproar on Thursday as MPs from opposition parties demanded an apology from Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks against BR Ambedkar.
The INDIA bloc MPs staged a protest outside the Parliament including Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge.
The Bhartiya Janata Party also staged a counter-protest demanding Congress to apologise for insulting Ambedkar.
Amid the commotion at the entrance of the Parliament building, BJP MP Pratap Sarangi reportedly sustained injury during the INDIA bloc's protest. Sarangi alleged he was shoved by Rahul Gandhi which resulted in his injury.
However, Rahul Gandhi, sporting a blue t-shirt, said he was stopped by BJP MPs at the Makardwar of Parliament. "BJP MPs were pushing and threatening me. There was a lot of jostling," he said.
The remarks made by Amit Shah have stirred a massive political slugfest. On Tuesday, Shah said in Rajya Sabha that Congress leaders would have got a place in heaven had they chanted the name of God rather than following the "fashion of repeating Ambedkar’s name”.
"Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai - Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar'. If they had taken God's name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven)," Shah had said.
The comment sparked a massive row as Congress and other opposition parties demanded Shah's resignation for what they called an insult to the architect of the Constitution.
Amid the ruckus, both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned till 2 pm.
