| Lok Sabha Speaker's Remarks Reflect 'Manuvadi' Mentality: Mayawati

| Condemning Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan's statement on reservation, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati today said it reflects the discriminatory "Manuvadi" mindset of the upper castes.
"...what Sumitra Mahajan has said on review of caste-based reservation in Ahmedabad raises doubt that it is an outcome of Manuvadi mentality," Ms Mayawati said in a statement.
"As it is, it is well known that when those having the narrow and dangerous mentality of the RSS speak about reivew, it amounts to ending this facility," she said.
"Even before the issue of Dalit youth Rohith Vemula being forced to commit suicide because of casteist harassment could die down, a lady holding high constitutional post issuing this statement has added fuel to the fire," said the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
The BSP president said, "If Rohith is denied justice even after death, it will be assumed Prime Minister Narendra Modi getting emotional while speaking about him at a function in Lucknow on Friday was a mere drama and his tears were in reality crocodile tears."
Ms Mayawati said in a country where one faced casteist behaviour based on his caste by birth at every level and in every sphere, talking about ending constitutional arrangements made to overcome this disparity will further encourage injustice and atrocities.
