Lord Ram killed Dalit, claims CD

New Delhi: At a time, when a political battle is being fought in Parliament on the very existence of Ram, a different version of Ramayana is being shown in several parts of Uttar Pradesh.

The CD shows Lord Ram in poor light. He is portrayed as someone who was anti-Dalit, so much that he even killed a Dalit, whose feet he touches by mistake.

The clips were exclusively available with news channel IBN 7 and are all part of a movie called Teesri Aazadi.

The movie is being produced and sold in many parts of UP and Gujarat by an organisation called Bhimrao Ambedkar Samaj Sudhar Samiti.

Activists of this organisation claim that they have the support of a BSP MP. However, the MP seems to deny encouraging the organisation.

"I am a life member of this organisation. I keep going for programs which are organised by this group,” says Lalmani Prasad

This CD doing the rounds in Uttar Pradesh is likely to be an embarrassment for Mayawati just as the Chief Minister is on a nation-wide tour to bridge the gap between different caste groups.
