Congress insulted Gujjars, Jats, Sikhs, Jains: BJP
May 11, 2012
The BJP today slammed the government on the issue of the cartoon of Dalit icon B R Ambedkar in school text books and accused the Congress of "insulting" Gujjar, Jat, Sikh and Jain communities.
"For the last two days, this government has been committing mistakes and apologising. It commits a mistake in the morning and apologises in the evening. Yesterday, the Leader of the House in Lok Sabha Pranab Mukherjee apologised and today Union Minister Kapil Sibal said sorry," said BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain.
He said the BJP was "deeply hurt" that Ambedkar has been "insulted" in NCERT books.
