New Delhi: Congress will hold a 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim and Jai Samvidhan' rally in Karnataka's Belgaum on 21st January to demand Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over his statement on BR Ambedkar, KC Venugopal, AICC General Secretary (Organisation), said.
The Belgaum rally was scheduled for December 27, but the Congress had to postpone it after the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"Today, we had the meeting to discuss the program for the 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim and Jai Samvidhan' rally on 21st January. Earlier we had decided to have a rally in Belgaum which was cancelled due to the sad demise of Manmohan Singh. Now we are doing that Belgaum rally on 21st January in a bigger way," Venugopal said after the meeting of general secretaries and state in-charges held at the new Congress headquarters 'Indira Bhawan' in Delhi.
"The rally will culminate on 27th January in Madhya Pradesh. In this rally, we will demand the resignation of Amit Shah over his statement on Dr BR Ambedkar," he added.
Venugopal said that members of the Congress Working Committee, and PCC presidents were invited for the Belgaum rally.
"Congress Working Committee members and PCC presidents have been invited to the Belgaum rally. Amit Shah insulted Ambedkar. He did not give an apology and has not given any clarification," Venugopal said.
During the Winter Session of Parliament, Amit Shah had reportedly said in the Rajya Sabha, "If they (the Opposition) had taken the name of God as many times as they take Ambedkar's name, they would have secured heaven for seven lives."
Following Shah's remarks, Parliament witnessed parallel protests from both the Treasury and Opposition benches outside the parliament last week, leading to a huge scuffle between the two sides, with BJP MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput sustaining injuries.
The ruling BJP MPs were protesting in Parliament's premises against the Congress party for "insulting" Babasaheb Ambedkar. INDIA Bloc MPs, led by Rahul Gandhi, held a protest in Parliament and demanded the resignation of Shah over his remarks on Ambedkar.
During the scuffle in Parliament's premises, BJP MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput were injured on their heads. Both parties have alleged that their members were pushed around. Furthermore, an FIR has been registered against Rahul Gandhi by the Delhi police regarding the incident.
