Oppn turns heat on govt over Shah remarks, seeks apology

Attending a press conference in the national capital, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge led the attack, demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must remove Shah from the cabinet before midnight. Kharge said if the Prime Minister has any respect for Babasaheb, he should sack Shah on Wednesday itself, if he does not quit on his own.

Attacking Congress during a debate on the Constitution in the Rajya Sabha, Shah said, "It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar! If they had taken God's name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven."
