TIL Desk/National/Varanasi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday invoked Sant Ravidas on his birth anniversary to urge people to end caste discrimination and identify those who promote it for “self interest”. Modi said caste discrimination is an impediment in achieving social harmony.
“Irrespective of caste, creed and other factors, all should get benefit of government schemes,” he said after laying the foundation stone of Ravidas Janmasthali (birthplace) area development project in Varanasi, his Lok Sabha constituency.
“Guruji (Sant Ravidas) had said that there should be no discrimination on the basis of caste. Till caste discrimination is there, people cannot connect with each other, social harmony is not possible and equality cannot be ensured,” the prime minister said.
Without taking any names, he asked people to “identify those who, for their self-interest, create caste discrimination and promote it.” “Unfortunately, caste discrimination could not be removed till now. The New India will witness this change with help of the youth,” he added.
