The Indian National Congress (INC) claimed that some of its leaders had received notice from the social media platform X that the Cyber Crime Coordination Centre of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had asked them to remove the video of the Minister of Home Affairs of India, Amit Shah, as it violated Indian laws. The claim comes amid accusations from the BJP that Congress leaders had shared edited videos of Amit Shah's Rajya Sabha speech about BR Ambedkar. There was no confirmation from X or the MHA’s Cyber Crime Coordination Centre on the notice sent. Shah's 'controversial' remark on Ambedkar The controversy erupted after the home minister, during a debate in Rajya Sabha, stated, "It has become a fashion to repeatedly invoke Ambedkar’s name. If they had taken God’s name as often, they would have earned a place in heaven." Following this, Babasaheb Ambedkar's grandson, Prakash Ambedkar, condemned the union minister for his remarks on the architect of the Indian Constitution, stating that the BJP is still abiding by the 'same old mentality.'

"Congress can try as they want, but people know the truth about their legacy," he said. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge dismissed Modi's allegations. “They are against the Constitution and Ambedkar’s vision,” Gandhi said, warning that the BJP’s actions are aimed at erasing Ambedkar’s contributions.

BR Ambedkar's grandson heaps praises on Radhika Apte's episode in Made In Heaven

Maharashtra remained on edge after the anniversary of a battle fought 200 years ago brought to fore simmering caste tensions even as a statewide bandh called today to protest the state government&#39;s alleged failure to stop violence witnessed stray protest by Dalits.

Dalit protesters tried to block tracks at the Thane railway station today morning, but they were chased away soon and the traffic on the Central Railway line remained uninterrupted, said a railway official.

Protesters also tried to block rail traffic on the Western line in suburban Goregaon, said a police official.

Today&#39;s Class 11 exams at St Xavier&#39;s College in South Mumbai have been cancelled, college authorities said.

Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh (BBM) leader and Dr B R Ambedkar&#39;s grandson Prakash Ambedkar have called for Maharashtra bandh today to protest the state government&#39;s &quot;failure&quot; to stop the violence at Bhima Koregaon village in Pune district two days ago.

Ambedkar alleged that Hindu Ekta Aghadi was responsible for the violence.

He said Maharashtra Democratic Front, Maharashtra Left Front and some 250 other organisations have supported the call for shutdown.

While the state government clarified that it hasn&#39;t declared a school holiday, bus operators said they won&#39;t run school buses in Mumbai today.

&quot;We can&#39;t risk students&#39; safety and security. Will take a second decision at 11 am if we can run them in the second half, depending on the situation,&quot; a School Bus Owners&#39; Association spokesperson said.

Gujarat MLA and Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani, who was in Mumbai yesterday, alleged the attacks on Dalits in Pune district two days ago were carried out by supporters of the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.

&quot;These organisations are modern-day Peshwas, representing Brahminism in its worst form. Two hundred years ago, our forefathers fought against the Peshwas. Today, Dalits of my generation are fighting against the new Peshwas,&quot; he said.

&quot;Why can&#39;t Dalits peacefully commemorate the anniversary of the Bhima Koregaon battle? The attackers have resorted to such methods because they are scared of Dalit assertion,&quot; he said.

Pune police last night said they had received a complaint against Mevani and Delhi&#39;s Jawaharlal Nehru University&#39;s (JNU) student leader Umar Khalid for their &quot;provocative&quot; speeches at an event in Pune on December 31.

Mevani and Khalid had attended the &quot;Elgar Parishad&quot;, an event organised to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the battle of Bhima-Koregaon, at Shaniwar Wada in Pune.

Violence erupted in Pune district when Dalit groups were celebrating the bicentenary of the Bhima-Koregaon battle in which the forces of the British East India Company defeated the Peshwa&#39;s army.

Dalit leaders commemorate the British victory, as it is believed that soldiers from the Mahar community - then considered untouchable - were part of the East India Company&#39;s forces. The Peshwas were Brahmins, and the victory is seen as a symbol of assertiveness by Dalits.&nbsp;
