Opposition parties united to demand Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over his remarks on B R Ambedkar, causing parliamentary uproar and protests nationwide. Shah's comments were seen as offensive to the architect of the Constitution, leading to a political clash between the ruling party and opposition leaders.

The political arena was in turmoil on Wednesday as opposition parties, spearheaded by Congress, TMC, DMK, and others, demanded the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah. His remarks on B R Ambedkar were labeled as an affront to the architect of the Constitution, igniting a fierce debate in Parliament.
