Protests Erupt in Guwahati Over Amit Shah’s Remarks on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar sparked protests in Guwahati, with the Assam Pradesh Congress burning his effigy. Congress leaders, including Debabrata Saikia and Mira Borthakur, accused Shah and the BJP of disrespecting Ambedkar’s legacy and demanded an apology.
