Controversy Erupts Over Amit Shah's Remarks on Dr. BR Ambedkar

Left parties have staged protests against Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on Dr. BR Ambedkar, claiming they reflect regressive and casteist Hindutva politics. Amit Shah accused the opposition of twisting his words and launched a nationwide protest to defend constitutional values.

The Left parties organized a protest at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Monday in reaction to comments made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah about Dr. BR Ambedkar.

The protest saw participation from members of multiple parties including CPI(M), CPI, CPI(ML) Liberation, RSP, AIFB, and CGPI, all vocally demanding Shah's removal from office.

CPI(M) leader Hannan Mollah criticized Shah's comments as an attack on the core values of Indian democracy, asserting that continuous criticism of Ambedkar reflects regressive politics. Shah later accused the opposition of misrepresenting his words for political gain.
