Patwari alleged that the BJP has insulted Dr Ambedkar in the parliament and that has exposed the saffron party’s attitude towards the constitution. He charged that the BJP does not leave any chance of insulting the constitution and constitutional values.
Jitu Patwari demanded that Amit Shah must tender an apology immediately or else he must resign from his ministerial post. Patwari averred that the Congress will never accept the insult of the constitution or Dr Ambedkar and it will keep on staging protests on the roads till Shah apologizes or resigns.
