Expressing her concerns over the arrest of people protesting against the demolition of the centuries-old Sant Ravidas temple, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday accused the BJP government of suppressing the voice of Dalits.

The Congress leader tweeted lashing out at the BJP government for demolition the temple known as a symbol of the cultural heritage of the Dalits and when protested then resorting to lathi-charge, using tear gas and arresting the protestors. She called the incident an “insult to the voice of Dalits” which cannot be tolerated. Vadra said that its an emotional matter and the people’s voice should be respected."
