RS Chairman disallows MPs to speak on Shah’s remarks

Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar disallows Opposition MPs to speak on the issue but allows Parliamentary Affairs minister Kiren Rijiju "respond" to the "agitation" by Opposition MPs.

Rijiju accuses Congress of repeatedly insulting Ambedkar and ensuring his defeat in the 1952 Lok Sabha polls by fielding a candidate against him. Rijiju says Congress only uses Ambedkar for vote bank politics.

Amid protests by Opposition MPs, House adjourned till 2PM.
