Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday filed a notice of privilege against Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his remarks on former Minister of Law and Justice Dr. B. R. Ambedkar during a debate in the Rajya Sabha.
This comes amid protests by opposition parties and leaders demanding Amit Shah's resignation over his remarks in Rajya Sabha. He had said that it had become a "fashion" for Congress to take Ambedkar's name.
While protesting, Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh targeted the Gandhi family, saying that they have all received Bharat Ratna, but didn't give it to Dr Ambedkar.
