The Rajasthan Congress plans a Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Samman March to protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on Ambedkar. The march will take place at district headquarters, with a memorandum submitted to the President, demanding Shah's dismissal and apology.

The Rajasthan Congress is set to hold a 'Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Samman March' across all district headquarters, protesting against Union Home Minister Amit Shah's controversial comments on Ambedkar.

Swarnim Chaturvedi, media in-charge of Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee, stated that the march would be organized by respective District Congress Committees. Congress workers will deliver a memorandum to district collectors for President Droupadi Murmu, appealing for Shah's removal and a public apology.

The opposition has been vocal about demanding Shah's resignation following his remarks during a speech in the Rajya Sabha, where he suggested frequent mention of Ambedkar's name by the opposition parties was for popularity, likening it to invoking divine favor.
