Scores of AAP leaders and party workers , led by its convenor Arvind Kejriwal, on Wednesday staged a massive protest near the BJP headquarters over Home Minister Amit Shah’s alleged remarks on Dr B R Ambedkar, describing it as an insult to the architect of the country’s Constitution.
During the sit-in protest, Kejriwal condemned Shah’s alleged remarks, claiming it has hurt the sentiments of crores of people across the nation. Sharpening his attack, he claimed that it was not just an insult of Dr Ambedkar, but every underprivileged citizen and believer in equality. “Dr Ambedkar is the voice of the oppressed and the cornerstone of India’s democracy,” he said and further slammed the BJP for allegedly attacking the values that the architect of Constitution stood for.
The AAP has sought an apology from Shah and also demanded strict action against the BJP leader. Kejriwal , attacking the BJP, claimed that the saffron party has made its position clear that it is against Ambedkar and the Constitution he gave to the country.
