Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi founder Thol. Thirumavalavan has reaffirmed his commitment to fight ‘Sangh Parivar’ forces.
Participating in the 50 th year celebrations of Dalit Panthers of India, a radical Ambedkarite organisation, in Aurangabad in Maharashtra, on Saturday, he said it was erroneous to consider Dalits as Hindus when they didn’t even fall under the four ‘varnas’ classified in the Hindu system.
“We are not Hindus, we belong to ancient Buddhism. Pandit Iyotheethass declared that we are not Hindus, but Buddhists before Dr. Ambedkar,” he said in his speech, a video of which he shared on social media.
