Dalit Congress worker files FIR against Maken

Congress worker Dharmpal Natkhat on Monday accused Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Ajay Maken of hurling abuses at him and alleged that the ill-treatment was meted out to him as he is a Dalit.

Recalling the sequence of events which led to this episode, Natkhat said that he had come to meet Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on his 46th birthday.

“I told him (Rahul) my son died and I am a party worker, but Ajay Makenji didn’t visit my place. Rahulji asked Ajay ji to visit my place. He (Ajay Maken) thought I was complaining against him. He called me after half-an-hour and started abusing me. I was treated like that because I am a Dalit,” Natkhat said. 

“What wrong did I do? I met Soniaji. I have lodged an FIR in this regard at the Mandir Marg police station,” he added.
