Nitin Nabin has accused the Congress party of a long history of insulting Dalits, citing the recent purification debate as a key example.
Nitin Nabin, a senior leader of the opposition, voiced his criticism during a press conference on Tuesday, alleging that the Congress party has repeatedly used derogatory language towards Dalits. He specifically pointed to the ongoing purification issue, arguing that the party’s stance has deepened social divisions.
Nabin said that the Congress’s rhetoric over the years has not only marginalized Dalit communities but also perpetuated stereotypes that hinder their socio-economic progress. He called for a more inclusive dialogue that respects the dignity of all citizens.
The statement comes amid growing scrutiny of political parties’ language on caste matters. While Congress has denied the allegations, it has faced similar accusations in the past over its handling of caste-related policies.
Nitin Nabin’s remarks are expected to fuel debates on caste sensitivity in political discourse, especially as elections approach.
The opposition leader urged the Congress to reassess its messaging and adopt a more respectful tone towards marginalized groups.
