The real intentions and mindset of the BJP has come out from the mouth of Amit Shah, demanding his immediate resignation.
Ravinder Sharma stated it was on the written request of Congress president and LoP in Rajya Sabha and LoP in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi to the Presiding officers of the two houses regarding discussions on the Constitution on completion of 75th year, that the debate was held in the two Houses of Parliament, during the course of which Amit Shah used the derogatory words against Dr Ambedkar. Instead of expressing gratitude and honouring his great contributions in the framing of the Constitution, Shah insulted the great personality.
The party demanded immediate resignation and public apology by the Home Minister to end the unrest in the country over the issue, otherwise people will not be satisfied less than this.
