AIPF took out a protest march in Bhagalpur town to protest against the vandalization of the Ambedkar statue by smearing it with “jootha” (leftovers) on 30 April. The protestors shouted slogans against attempts at saffronization of Ambedkar’s ideas by the RSS-BJP and demanded immediate action against the perpetrators of the defacement.
It needs to be remembered that one day earlier when the RYA had burnt the effigy of Mohan Bhagwat in protest against the RSS chief’s statement that Ambedkar was a Hindutva supporter, the saffron goons of the RSS had torn down all the posters from that place after the RYA activists left.
