Raj had also said on Monday that the “Muslim community is going through the same phase today as the Dalits were in a bad condition once”.”The Muslim community cannot fight the situation alone. Dalits are also not capable alone. Whenever the Muslim community raises its problem, its outcome is converted into communalism,” he added.”After the 1980s, Kanshiram ji started Bahujan awakening in Uttar Pradesh, which reached its peak in the 2000s. Even though the movement culminated in politics, the thinking and basis has been social justice,” said Raj.”Other political parties start with politics and end with it, but this was not the case with the Bahujan Samaj Party,” he added. Attacking Mayawati, the former Lok Sabha MP said, “Despite Ms. Mayawati’s cruelty and incompetence, the workers and voters kept fighting. The houses of the workers were sold, their children could not get education and they were treated cruelly, yet they kept on struggling to bring Bahujan Raj.””Lakhs of workers who believe in Phule, Shahu, Ambedkar are going through a phase of despair. Some have set up small organizations at their own level but their thinking is not dead,” he added.The former Lok Sabha MP said that on December 1, 2024, the first rally of DOMA Parisangh was held at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan in which the demand to save the Waqf Board was raised.The former Lok Sabha MP currently heads the Dalit, OBC, Minorities and Adivasi (DOMA) Parisangh.Urging the Ambedkarites to come together, he said, “The so-called Ambedkarites could not even break the caste system, at least stop casteism and caste organisation. Till when will you keep gathering people by speaking against Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas. Today’s need is to change yourself. Hindus are united by speaking against Muslims and Dalit-backward classes by criticizing upper castes. Stop following this path.””Lord Gautam Buddha had said – Atta Deepo Bhava. It means that change your own thinking. Dalits and backward classes want the upper castes to change themselves, but they should keep doing casteism among themselves,” he added.
