Ambedkar row: State SC panel issues notice to Lalu
Patna: Bihar State Commission for Scheduled Castes has issued a notice to RJD chief Lalu Prasad , demanding a response within 15 days as to why a case under the SC/ST Atrocities Prevention Act should not be filed against him for allegedly disrespecting a photograph of Dr B R Ambedkar. The incident occurred during Lalu's birthday celebration on June 11. The letter, signed by commission vice-president Devendra Kumar on June 13, read, "You (Lalu) have insulted the photo of Constitution maker Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar on your birthday, which is being continuously seen on social media. The insult of Baba Saheb has hurt the honour of not only one class but the entire country. Therefore, give an explanation within 15 days and tell why a case should not be registered against you under the Scheduled Castes, Tribes Atrocities Act. " The controversy arose from a viral video showing an RJD worker placing Ambedkar's picture as a gift on a table near Lalu's feet. Lalu neither acknowledged nor touched the photograph, nor made any comment. The BJP has strongly criticised the incident. In defence, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, Lalu's son and former deputy chief minister, accused the BJP of levelling false accusations. "BJP has nothing to do with the principles and policies of Baba Saheb. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo Today, even at the age of 78, Laluji meets people for 10 hours. But those making allegations have no shame at all. BJP should learn that even at this age Laluji remains in touch with the public," he said. Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary wrote on X on Sunday, "It has been more than 36 hours since the video of Baba Saheb's insult came out. The whole of Bihar is hurt by that video, but not even two words of regret have come from RJD. Bihar has definitely seen the arrogance of Lalu's beloved son Tejashwi. Our question is that even after insulting Baba Saheb by keeping his photo near his feet, Lalu's son does not feel it is an insult, then after what other will RJD accept as an insult?" Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor also criticised Lalu and took a swipe at the Congress. "Rahul Gandhi says don't be afraid. Lalu had his feet in front of Baba Saheb's photo. If you have the courage, then show it by giving a statement on it," he said in Muzaffarpur on Sunday. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Ambedkar row: Bihar State Commission for Scheduled Castes serves notice to Lalu Prasad
The State Commission for Scheduled Castes (SCSC) in Bihar on Sunday (June 15, 2025) served a notice to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad for allegedly insulting Bhimrao Ambedkar as a portrait of the Dalit icon was placed at his feet. On Saturday, a video went viral on social media, following which the ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed Mr. Prasad over the alleged act. SCSC Vice Chairman Devendra Kumar Manjhi sent the notice, which was dated June 13, and was released in media on June 15. 'On the occasion of your birthday, you and your party worker were seen insulting the photo of the architect of the Constitution, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar-ji. The video is being seen continuously on social media,' Mr. Manjhi said in the letter written in Hindi. 'Thus, provide an explanation within 15 days or else it would be assumed that you have done this intentionally. In failing to do so, a case will be registered against you under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989,' the letter stated. In the video, the ailing leader is seen seated on a couch, with his feet placed on a sofa nearby. A supporter enters the room carrying the portrait of Ambedkar and places it close to Mr. Prasad's feet before greeting him on his 78th birthday on June 11. 'More than 36 hours have passed since the video of the insult to Babasaheb surfaced. The entire Bihar is hurt by that video. But so far, not a single word of regret has come from the RJD,' BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said on Sunday in a message on social media platform X. Responding to the issue, RJD leader and Mr. Lalu Prasad's son Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said that the BJP was spreading lies about his father, and termed the allegations baseless. Attacking the BJP, Mr. Tejashwi Yadav said that the BJP had nothing to do with Ambedkar's principles and ideology. The BJP's national spokesperson, Guru Prakash Paswan, said that Mr. Lalu Prasad's action was unacceptable and unpardonable. 'For someone who claims to be the champion of social justice to disrespect and insult the legacy of Ambedkar shows his true face, nature, and character. At the end of the day, the RJD remains a family-oriented, dynasty-oriented organisation, which has hardly or rarely ventured beyond family politics,' Mr. Paswan told media persons. 'All the position and powers in the organisation and in the government have remained with the family. For example, the Leader of the Opposition would be Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the House in the Legislative Council would be Rabri Devi, the daughter would go to the Rajya Sabha, the daughter will contest in the Lok Sabha, and so forth. It shows the real character, and they are the 'neo-feudals' who, in the name of social justice, do nothing,' Mr. Paswan. Meanwhile, Mr. Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday announced on social media that, if his party formed the government in Bihar, a '100% domicile law' would be implemented, with all the jobs in Bihar given only to the people of Bihar and 'not to outsiders'.

'Absolutely incorrect': Rafale maker on Pakistan's claim on Indian Rafale; says mission success is key
Dassault Aviation CEO Éric Trappier has firmly rejected Pakistan's claim that it shot down multiple Rafale fighter jets during the recent military conflict with India, describing Islamabad's version of events as 'inaccurate.' His comments mark the first response from the French manufacturer after weeks of speculation following the brief but intense air conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in early May. 'The Indians haven't communicated, so we don't know exactly what happened. What we already know is that what the Pakistanis are saying [three Rafales destroyed] is inaccurate,' Trappier said in an interview with Challenges , a French magazine. 'On the other hand, when you operate combat aircraft, you are carrying out a mission. The success of the mission is not having zero losses; it's having achieved its objectives. During the Second World War, it wasn't said that the Allies had lost the war because they had lost troops… We'll see if there were losses or not, and if the war aims were achieved. When the truth comes out, some people may be surprised.' Trappier's remarks come weeks after Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan had publicly dismissed Pakistan's assertions of having downed six Indian warplanes during Operation Sindoor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Also read: 'India lost jets but changed tactics to hit Pakistan hard,' says CDS Anil Chauhan 'The information is absolutely incorrect,' General Chauhan told Bloomberg TV during the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. 'What is important is that, not the jet being down, but why they were being downed.' Indian Military Confirms Fighter Jet Loses In Pak Conflict; CDS Anil Chauhan's Big Confirmation He stressed that India had recognised and corrected tactical errors swiftly. 'The good part is that we are able to understand the tactical mistake which we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew all our jets again, targeting at long range.' Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, was a coordinated military response to the Pahalgam terror attack in April. General Chauhan said India successfully struck deep into Pakistani territory with 'precision of a meter' and exposed the ineffectiveness of Pakistan's imported weaponry. He also downplayed claims of nuclear brinkmanship, calling it 'far-fetched' and adding that communication channels remained open throughout.
