New Delhi, Feb. 3 -- Congress Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Singh Surjewala on Monday moved a notice of motion to discuss the "growing instances of disrespect" towards the Constitution and Dr BR Ambedkar across the country.

In a notice to the General Secretary of the Rajya Sabha, Surjewala urged the suspension of the other scheduled businesses listed for today to discuss the specific issue he mentioned.

This comes after the recent vandalism of the statute of BR Ambedkar in Punjab's Amritsar and a speech in the Rajya Sabha during Winter Session of the Parliament, where Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated, "If they had taken the name of God so many times instead of Ambedkar, they would have got heaven for seven lives."
