Amit Shah’s Ambedkar Remarks Ignite Tensions, Congress to Demand Resignation
The final day of the Parliament session descended into chaos as Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar sparked fierce backlash from the Opposition, led by Congress and TMC. Delivered on December 17, 2024, parts of Shah's speech were deemed insulting to Ambedkar’s legacy. Despite his clarification and apology, the Opposition intensified its attack, accusing Shah of disrespect. Heated arguments filled the House, culminating in a physical altercation between Rahul Gandhi and BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi. Exclusive BJP footage has further fueled the controversy. Congress announced plans to hold nationwide protests and demand Shah’s resignation. This marks the first major challenge Shah has faced in a decade, overshadowing key discussions in Parliament.
