Stepping up his attack on Amit Shah over his remarks on BR Ambedkar, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said if Prime Minister Narendra Modi has any respect for Babasaheb he should sack the home minister today itself in case he does not quit on his own.

NEW DELHI:

Accusing Shah of disrespecting the architect of the Constitution, Kharge said the home minister should apologise to the nation for the insult he caused to Ambedkar during his speech in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.

"I want to tell the PM that if he respects Babasaheb, he should immediately remove Amit Shah from his Cabinet," Kharge told a press conference here.

Amit Shah's remarks on Ambedkar are condemnable; he has insulted the Dalit hero, whom they consider as revered. Amit Shah must apologise to the people of the country," Kharge said.

He also attacked the Prime Minister, saying that instead of telling Shah that his remarks were wrong, Modi is defending his home minister.
