Dhasal alleges ill-treatment by RPI workers at Sena-RPI meet
PTI | 10:01 PM,Jan 05,2012
Mumbai, Jan 5 (PTI) Infuriated by the "arrogant" attitude of
Republican Party of India (RPI) workers, Dalit poet and political
activist Namdeo Dhasal today walked out of the meeting between Shiv
Sena-BJP and RPI leaders at Sena Bhawan in central Mumbai.
Seat-sharing for Mumbai civic polls was the meeting's agenda. "I am
unwell. I have to take support of the wheelchair. The functionaries of
my organization and the person who pushes the wheelchair were not
allowed to enter the conference room at Sena Bhawan by RPI workers,"
Dhasal alleged. He said other functionaries of Dalit Panther, his
organization, including its Mumbai unit chief and executive president
too were not allowed. He said today's incident took place when RPI
president Ramdas Athawale and Sena executive president Uddhav
Thackeray were in a meeting in the ante-chamber. "I have not received
any call from Athawale or Uddhav Thackeray. I will ask Athawale to
reprimand his party workers. "Dalit Panther was a faction party in RPI
and henceforth I will not be with RPI. If Bal Thackeray or Uddhav
Thackeray calls me, I will think about it," he asserted.
