UP CM Yogi Adityanath has stoked another fresh controversy by calling Lord Hanuman a dalit. A right-wing group in Rajasthan has sent a legal notice to YogiYogi h asking him to apologise within three days for allegedly calling Lord Hanuman a Dalit.
During a poll rally in Malakheda of Alwar district on Tuesday, Adityanath had said, “Hanuman was a forest dweller, deprived and a Dalit. Bajrang Bali worked to connect all Indian communities together, from north to south and east to west”.
“This was his resolve as it was Lord Ram’s wish. Just like him, we should also not rest till we fulfil that wish,” he added. He also said that the people of the district would vote for ‘Ram bhakts’ and not ‘Ravana’.
Rajasthan Sarv Brahmin Mahasabha president Suresh Mishra has now sent a notice to Adityanath, accusing him of dragging Lord Hanuman’s caste for political gain for the BJP in the state where assembly polls will be held on December 7.
