Congress leaders are demanding the resignation of Amit Shah from the Union Cabinet. They accuse him of making derogatory remarks about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, and criticize Prime Minister Modi for not taking action. Deepa Dasmunshi, a Congress general secretary, claims the BJP is undermining constitutional values and promoting Manusmriti over the Constitution. Other Congress members echoed her concerns, stating Shah's comments have hurt many who revere Ambedkar. The Congress party has intensified its protests against Shah's remarks and plans to raise awareness about what they call the BJP's anti-Ambedkar stance. They also allege that the BJP is using legal tactics to distract from its policies.
