Former minister and Congress leader Kimmane Ratnakar wants the Sangh Parivar to distribute copies of Manusmriti among its members so that they understand what ‘they really stand for’.
At a press conference in Shivamogga on December 7, Mr. Ratnakar said he is a follower of the Hindu religion, but that did not stop him from criticising how certain sections of people were being discriminated against.
“I am ready to debate with any leader of the BJP or the RSS on what the Sangha Parivar did to stop the ill-treatment of Dalits and other backward sections. They have not taken up even a single programme to address these issues,” he said.
