Mumbai, January 3: Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh leader and BR Ambedkar’s grandson Prakash Ambedkar has withdrawn the state-wide bandh after normal life was badly affected in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra on Wednesday. Dalit groups had called for a complete shutdown in the state in protest against the violent clashes that broke out during the Bhima Koregaon battle anniversary in Pune on Monday.
CM Fadnavis promised a judicial inquiry.
“I welcome the judicial probe but it should not be headed by a judge from the Dalit community,”says Dalit leader Prakash Ambedkar.
Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan calls for a time-bound inquiry into the Maharashtra caste violence, says strict action should be taken against those found guilty. Terming the caste system as the biggest evil of the society, he called for a change in attitude of the people.
