Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, MPs including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Varsha Gaikwad, Kumari Selja, AAP MP Sanjay Singh, RJD MP Manoj Sinha along with others participated in the protest

The Opposition MPs were seen carrying pictures of Babasaheb Ambedkar. They have alleged that Amit Shah insulted Ambedkar in his speech yesterday

This came after Amit Shah lashed out at the Congress party and said that it had become a 'fashion' for the party to take Ambedkar's name

"If they had taken the name of God so many times instead of Ambedkar then they would have got heaven for seven lives," Shah said

The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 2 pm after the opposition protest

Earlier today, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh in reply to Shah's remarks in Parliament on Babasaheb Ambedkar said that the BJP was habituated to "chant" the name of the first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to disguise their inability to tackle problems of inflation, unemployment and inequalities faced by the country

Speaking to ANI, Jairam Ramesh pointed out, "To escape the present-day challenges, they have to chant Nehru's name. If they don't, people will ask them what they are doing about inflation, unemployment, and inequalities"

"Yesterday, the Home Minister gravely insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar. He said 'You people keep chanting Ambedkar, Ambedkar. It would have been better if you chanted the name of God.' If this isn't an insult to Dr Ambedkar, then what is? The truth is that the BJP, the Prime Minister, and the Home Minister repeatedly insult Ambedkar and blame the Congress party instead," Jairam Ramesh said

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday lambasted Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks on BR Ambedkar and said that the nation will "definitely respond" to it
