Mahila Congress led protest march to Kerala Rajbhavan against HM's 'Ambedkar' remark
Mahila Congress Protests in Kerala Over Amit Shah's Ambedkar Remark
In Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, the Mahila Congress organized a protest march to the Kerala Rajbhavan, demanding the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This protest was in response to Shah's controversial remarks about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, which were deemed derogatory by Jebi Mather, President of Kerala Pradesh Mahila Congress and Party's MP. Mather emphasized the deep respect Indians have for Ambedkar, calling for Shah's resignation and an apology.
The Congress party has planned nationwide protests on December 24 against Shah's comments. Additionally, all party Members of Parliament (MPs) and Central Working Committee (CWC) members will hold press conferences on December 22 and 23 to address the issue. The controversy began during the Parliament winter session when Shah criticized Congress for frequently invoking Ambedkar's name, suggesting it had become a 'fashion'.
Shah's statement, "If they had taken the name of God so many times instead of Ambedkar then they would have got heaven for seven lives," sparked outrage from Congress, who demanded an apology and Shah's resignation, labeling the remark an "insult" to Ambedkar. The protests in Parliament led to a confrontation between BJP and Congress members, resulting in injuries to BJP MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, and allegations from Mallikarjun Kharge of being pushed.
