Shah’s disparaging views on Ambedkar reflective of BJP/RSS casteist ideology: CPI(M)

The Hindu  

Communist Party of India State secretary M.V. Speaking to journalists after chairing a CPI State secretariat meeting here on Friday, Mr. Govindan said the Bharatiya Janata Party, an RSS offshoot, drew ideological inspiration from the Manusmriti. Mr. Govindan said that during the previous Lok Sabha election campaign, the BJP aspired to get up to 430 seats in the Lok Sabha to rewrite the Constitution as envisaged by Golwalkar. Interestingly, Mr. Govindan said Golwalkar identified Muslims, Christians and Communists as India’s principal enemies. Mr. Govindan said the CPI would mobilise public opinion against Mr. Shah’s continuation in office.
