Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Friday condemned a protest held by upper caste groups across various states in the country against the latest amendment approved by Parliament to retract a Supreme Court judgement over the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
In the wake of nationwide bandh against the alleged dilution of Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) Protection Act, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has appealed all political parties and groups to maintain peace and shun violence.
He was speaking after inaugurating the International Ambedkar Conclave, organised by the Forum of SC (Scheduled Caste) and ST (Scheduled Tribe) Legislators and Parliamentarians in New Delhi.
