The Congress on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party leader had insulted BR Ambedkar.
On Tuesday, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh shared a 12-second video of Shah’s comment.
“It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar,” the Union home minister was heard saying in the clip. “If they had taken God’s name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven.”

“This shows that the BJP and RSS [Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] leaders have a lot of hatred for Baba Saheb Ambedkar,” Ramesh had said on social media. “The hatred is such that they are even irritated by his name.”
"अभी एक फैशन हो गया है- अंबेडकर, अंबेडकर, अंबेडकर, अंबेडकर, अंबेडकर..
