New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday slammed the BJP over Dalit issues, saying those challenging the system that keeps their caste at the lowest are hit by violence.
"It is in the DNA of the RSS/BJP, to keep Dalits at the lowest notch in the Indian society. Those who challenge this thinking are hit by violence," he tweeted.
"Thousands of Dalit brothers and sisters are on the streets today demanding to protect their rights from the Modi government. We salute them," he added.
His remarks came in the wake of the ongoing protests by activists from various organisations against a Supreme Court ruling on the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Act.
