The Congress and AAP councillors passed a motion against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, calling for his resignation. BJP councillors countered by accusing the Congress of historically disrespecting Dr Ambedkar, particularly during the tenure of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. 

The BJP also alleged that the Congress was attempting to tarnish Mr Shah's image by selectively quoting his recent speech in the Rajya Sabha.
