In New Delhi, a group of opposition MPs gathered at Vijay Chowk on Friday to protest against Home Minister Amit Shah. They demanded an apology and resignation from Shah for what they believed was an insult to BR Ambedkar. The MPs also organized a march from Vijay Chowk to Parliament as a way to voice their displeasure.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also joined in the protest, condemning the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for filing an FIR against the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. She criticized the party for their actions, stating that it only showed their desperation. "The entire country is watching, they have slapped several cases on Rahul Gandhi. They bring in new FIRs and lie... This shows their desperation level," she told reporters.
Priyanka Gandhi was seen carrying a placard that read 'Babasaheb ka apman nahi sahega Hindustan', which translates to 'India will not tolerate the disrespect of Babasaheb'. Along with other INDIA bloc MPs, she raised slogans such as 'Jai Bhim', 'Amit Shah Maafi Mango' (apologize, Amit Shah), and 'istifa do' (resign).
This protest came a day after separate marches by opposition and ruling party MPs resulted in a scuffle in the Parliament premises, leaving two BJP MPs injured. The BJP has accused Rahul Gandhi of pushing a senior member, but the Congress leader has denied these allegations. The opposition has used Shah's remarks on Ambedkar as an opportunity to criticize the government and demand Shah's resignation for what they believe was an insult to the father of the Indian Constitution.
