Raipur: The Janata Congress Chhattisgarh (J) has intensified its protest against the state govt, alleging the deliberate omission of Chhattisgarh's first Dalit MP, Mini Mata's name, from the invitation card for the new Assembly building's inauguration.
JCC(J) state President Amit Jogi, son of former CM late Ajit Jogi, burned the inauguration invitation card in protest, accusing the govt of insulting Chhattisgarhi pride, women’s empowerment, and Dalit representation by erasing Mini Mata’s legacy.
He appealed to all MLAs and former MLAs to boycott the Prime Minister’s event if the name is not reinstated. “Today, as the state prepares to inaugurate a new Assembly building on its 25th foundation day, we received an invitation from Assembly Speaker Dr Raman Singh.
The shocking and infuriating aspect is that the name ‘Mini Mata’ is not mentioned anywhere on this invitation card,” Jogi said. He termed the omission a “planned conspiracy or a grave error.”
