Patna, June 16 (Reporter) Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today strongly criticised RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav for insulting Bhim Rao Ambedkar, pioneer of the Indian Constitution.
Soon after his arrival here, Chouhan told a section of media that “Neither Bihar nor the nation will forgive Lalu Prasad Yadav and the RJD for this disrespect towards Babasaheb.”
The BJP leader said that Yadav's claims to be a wellwisher of backwards was nothing but an eye wash. The incident has exposed the mentality of Yadav and his party RJD.
As it is a video related to Lalu Yadav's birthday went viral recently on social media showing an RJD worker presenting the RJD chief a picture of Ambedkar. The video shows the picture of Ambedkar kept near Yadav's feet. Yadav, however does not even touch Baba Saheb's picture.
Meanwhile in a release issued here, top BJP leaders have also strongly voiced their resentment. Any insult to Babasaheb Ambedkar will not be tolerated, and the party will continue to hold those responsible accountable at every level, the BJP cleared.
In the release, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, who hails from the Dalit community, has launched a scathing attack on Yadav and the RJD, demanding an immediate public apology. "On one hand, Yadav claims to be a leader of dalits and backward classes, while on the other he insults Babasaheb," stated Meghwal, adding that Yadav's arrogance was to such an extent that he even refused to apologise. He said that the nation will not tolerate it.
Union Minister Bhupender Yadav echoed similar sentiments in the release and criticised Yadav and the RJD for their silence and lack of remorse...////...
