The Indian Youth Congress mounted a protest on Thursday following controversial remarks made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah about B R Ambedkar.

Protesters rallied with Ambedkar's pictures, chanting slogans, as IYC national president Uday Bhanu Chib accused the BJP of harboring anti-Ambedkar and anti-Constitution sentiments.
