The Congress-led Opposition, on Wednesday, raised a storm in Parliament protesting against Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar in the Rajya Sabha yesterday, forcing adjournment of both houses of Parliament without transaction of any business.
Led by Leaders of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha and Mallikarjun Kharge in the upper house, the Opposition charged Mr Shah with insulting the architect of the Constitution while replying to the two-day debate on the Constitution.
Putting up a strong defence for the home minister, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, lashing out at the Opposition, said the Congress should stop misusing the name of the Father of the Constitution. He alleged the Congress was misleading the people.
He said the Opposition party and some of its allies have taken out a small clip of the speech of Home Minister Amit Shah delivered in the Rajya Sabha yesterday, twisted it, and made it viral.
