TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that under the present government, the Constitution, Maharishi Valmiki’s ideas and Dalits were “under attack”.
He also alleged that benefits were being given only to a selected “5-10-15 people” while crores of people, including the poor, farmers, Dalits, were being “attacked and silenced”.
They are being “beaten, killed and suppressed”, Gandhi said at the AICC headquarters here while addressing a gathering during the flag off of the ‘Shobha Yatra’ on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Maharishi Valmiki, who authored the Ramayana.
“Valmiki ji showed a way to the country, he told us how to live. His message was the message of love and brotherhood and today when we look at India, Valmiki’s message is under attack,” he said. Gandhi said the Indian Constitution was based on Valmiki’s ideology.
