Congress staged a protest in Nagpur on Thursday, demanding a public apology from Union minister Amit Shah over his remarks about Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. The demonstration was led by local Congress leaders and included condemnation of police brutality linked to recent riots. Protesters criticized the BJP for suppressing dissent and undermining Ambedkar's legacy. They highlighted issues such as the alleged mistreatment of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in Parliament and the party's resistance to discussing national concerns. Congress leaders dismissed BJP claims of disrespecting Ambedkar and called for accountability. They argued that the BJP's actions contradict its claims of supporting marginalized communities, labeling the party's defense of Shah as anti-Constitutional.
