BSP dharna to press Shah to withdraw remarks about Ambedkar today

Lucknow: BSP chief Mayawati on Monday warned against those indulging in deceitful politics in the name of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar.

She reiterated her call for peaceful protests at district headquarters across the country on Tuesday to support her demand for Union Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw his words against Ambedkar spoken in Parliament.

She stated that BSP’s “Ambedkarwadi movement to ensure self-respect for Bahujan Samaj” is a political mission meant to make them rulers.

The other parties only pretend to be Ambedkarwadi to get the votes of the Bahujan Samaj, she said.

She also criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his visit to violence-hit Parbhani in Maharashtra and “shedding crocodile tears” over the incident. She said that the incident was the outcome of disrespect towards Babasaheb and looking down upon their followers.

“Congress’s attitude towards the welfare of Babasaheb’s followers, while he was alive and even after his death, has been casteist and disrespectful. They remember Dalits and weaker sections only in their bad phase. Neither BJP nor Congress is the true well-wisher of Dalits and weaker sections,” she said.
