The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
Amit Shah’s Remarks Condemned
The derogatory remarks about Dr. B. R. Ambedkar made by the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, in the debate on the 75th anniversary of the Constitution in the Rajya Sabha, have outraged the sentiments of people all over the country. That Amit Shah made these comments while talking about the Constitution of India, of which Dr. Ambedkar was the architect, has only exposed his manuvadi outlook.
The defence of Amit Shah put up by Prime Minister Modi is unconscionable. Amit Shah has no right to stay in the office of the Home Minister.
