Prakash Ambedkar claims RSS Chief has ‘Deadly weapons’, demands his arrest

Prakash Ambedkar, the chief of Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh claims that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat possesses illegally weapons and also demanded his arrest under the Arms Act, reported India Today,

In a protest rally against the RSS in Mumbai, Ambedkar speaking to the party workers said, along with its chief Bhagwat, the organisation should also be booked for possessing such weapons.

“We have an Arms Act in the country which prevents anyone from possessing weapons. The RSS people are found possessing weapons. Photographs of Bhagwat and (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi with weapons like AK 47, multi-firing guns, shoulder to fire rockets etc have been published. I have asked the government to explain why no action is being taken against him”, said Ambedkar.

Prakash Ambedkar went on to demand Maharastra government to charge Bhagwat under the MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act), for possessing illegal weapons and asked the government to confiscate weapons from the RSS.

“They say the weapons are being worshipped on the auspicious day of Dussehra. If I want to worship a tank or a combat aircraft on such occasion would the government permit me to do that? If an action can be taken against a common man for possessing even the country-made crude weapons, similar action needs to be taken against Bhagwat”, said Ambedkar as per reports.

According to Prakash Ambedkar, RSS, headed by Mohan Bhagawat may have been raising a parallel Army. He warned if Maharastra government does not take initiate any action in the near future against the RSS, they would launch protests and block all kind of transportation in the state. He further said that if the government fails to act on Bhagwat, he would move to the court.

The RSS spokesperson in Mumbai reacted to Ambedkar and said the charges are ‘laughable’. He said, “We worship the models of weapons. It is a symbolic gesture that is a part of the ‘Shakti Upasana’ (worshipping of the strength). Dr Bhagwat does not possess any weapon. Ambedkar has developed a black sense of humour these days”.

Prakash, the grandson of BR Ambedkar, heads a Dalit political outfit called Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh in Maharastra and intends to contest in the upcoming elections to be held in the state. Ambedkar, a controversial man has been caught live threatening a TimesNow journalist, Anand Narasimhan after his channel had exposed the role of Urban Naxals in creating unrest in the country. Agitated by this expose, Prakash Ambedkar had abused the journo and warned him of consequences once the present government loses power.

On 19th October, The Indian Express article headlined, "How saffron groups are ‘pushing out’ non-Hindus of Navratri events", cherry-picks a few incidents of confrontations and announcements at Navratri Garba events in Gujarat to weave a narrative that there is a systematic "saffron" campaign of exclusion against Muslims that contradicts the UNESCO's recognition of Garba as inclusive.
