Slamming Amit Shah, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Malikarjun Kharge, said PM Modi should have removed Amit Shah from the cabinet by now.

"These people do not believe in the Constitution. They talk about Manusmriti...PM Modi made 6 tweets to defend Amit Shah. What was the need for this? If someone says wrong about BR Ambedkar, he should be removed from the cabinet. But they are friends and are supporting each other's sins", Kharge said.

"Amit Shah is not fashion. He is spirit of out soul", protesters said.

"Amit Shah has gone insane. His tone and tenor reeks of sheer arrogance and he is drunk with power", Priyank Kharge, Congress leader and a minister in Karnataka said.
