Leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly Umang Singhar alleged that the BJP is insulting the Constitution and Dr Ambedkar. He added that despite making derogatory comments about Dr Ambedkar, Amit Shah has not yet apologised.

Congress MLAs staged a protest at the Assembly’s entrance, displaying placards and copies of the Constitution while raising slogans.

Singhar also alleged that BJP MPs manhandled Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge at the doors of Parliament. He claimed that a false case had been registered against Rahul Gandhi.

Umang Singhar demanded that Amit Shah apologise for his comments and that the false case against Rahul Gandhi be withdrawn.
