Shambhavi slams Lalu over viral video showing Ambedkar's portrait at his feet

A video from Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's birthday celebration is making waves on social media, showing a portrait of B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, placed near Lalu Yadav's feet.

The imagery has sparked outrage, with Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) MP Shambhavi Choudhary strongly condemning the act on Saturday. Speaking to IANS, Shambhavi Choudhary accused the RJD of repeatedly insulting Dalits and undermining their rights.

"We warned from the beginning-RJD only tries to mislead the Dalit community by pretending to stand with them. Yet, whenever the opportunity arises, they insult Dalits and their dignity," she said. Choudhary expressed deep hurt over the video, pointing out, "Where we Dalits revere Ambedkar as our guiding light, our god, and the voice that empowered us, placing his picture at Lalu Yadav's feet is a blatant disrespect. This act deeply wounds the sentiments of the Dalit and Maha Dalit families."
