The remarks by a BJP senior leader in Uttar Pradesh against BSP leader Mayawati has revealed the party’s true colours as an anti-Dalit and anti-woman, AIDWA secretary R N Madhavi said.
Staging a protest here along with activists of Kula Vivaksha Porata Samiti condemning the comments of the BJP leader here on Thursday, she said if the BJP leaders can pass such derogatory remarks against such a senior Dalit and woman leader of national prominence as Mayawati what protection do ordinary women have from such misogynists.
It is unfortunate that while on the one hand Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes about claiming that all Indian women are his sisters on the other hand atrocities continue against women, especially Dalits, she said.
The workers condemned the increasing number of atrocities against Dalits and women across the country in the recent past.
The Left party workers and activists staged a protest at Jagdamba junction and then dispersed. AIDWA members R Varalakshmi, K M Begum, CITU leader C Kameswari, Jyotilakshmi, Chandrakala and others were present.
