Belagavi, Mar 9 (UNI) Bharatiya Republic Party President Prakash Ambedkar, who is also grandson of Indian Constitution archectect late Dr Babashab Ambedkar, today said that his party has joined hands with All India Majalis-e-Ittehadul Muslimin (AIMIM) to contest coming Lok Sabha elections from Maharashtra, Karnataka and in other parts of the country as people are looking for alternative for Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Addressing party workers of both the parties here on Saturday, he said that there are two ideologies in India one is in favor of Constitution and another in favor of Manusmriti. "Constitution gives rights to everyone irrespective of religion, cast and creed while Manusmriti gives the position to only upper cast Hindu's. Today 15 per cent upper cast is ruling 130 crore population while backward, Dalit and Muslims who are 80 per cent in country were deprived of their basic rights. The Mahatma Gandhi's Congress party has much changed in period of time now become family party".

He said that the Congress in past 60 years has failed to bring the RSS under constitution and indirectly promoted. Both these parties have lost faith of general people, therefore it is time contest the elections ourselves and enter the Parliament and get our issues resolved. Congress is soft on Hinduism while BJP promotes hard Hinduism. But none of them are thinking of the other class, religion people.

Hundreds of party workers from Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa participated in the meeting.

Later talking to newsmen, Prakash Ambedkar said that "we held a joint meeting of AIMIM and BRP workers in Belagavi discussed about contesting in the General election.

The discussions of this meet will be brought into notice of AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi and field candidates for 11 seats in Hyderabad-Karnataka and Mumbai-Karnataka region".

Replying to a question about Pulwama attack, Mr Ambedkar said that several countries have appreciated the Indian defense for carrying out Air-strike on the base camps of Jaish militants in Balakot. "But Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP National President Amit Shah, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh tried to en-cash this sensitive subject by making political statements and created embarrassment to the country at international level", he added.
