Thu Dec 19 06:38:28 UTC 2024: ## Maharashtra Opposition Protests Shah’s Ambedkar Remarks

**Nagpur, Maharashtra, December 19, 2024** – Members of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), Maharashtra’s opposition alliance, staged a protest outside the Vidhan Bhawan in Nagpur today, condemning Union Minister Amit Shah’s recent remarks on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The protest, which involved leaders from the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP), saw the MVA members march from Samvidhan Chowk to the Vidhan Bhawan, chanting slogans against what they termed an insult to the architect of the Indian Constitution.

The protest follows a heated political debate sparked by Mr. Shah’s comments on Tuesday. While the BJP defended Mr. Shah, the Congress and other opposition parties have strongly criticized his remarks and demanded his dismissal. The MVA’s demonstration in Nagpur is the latest in a series of protests this week, with the opposition also raising concerns about farmer issues, violence in Parbhani, and a recent murder in Beed district. The winter session of the Maharashtra legislature is currently underway in Nagpur.
