New Delhi: Accusing the Centre of being non-serious on the arrest of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in the US, BSP supremo Mayawati today said it has unmasked the government's “anti-Dalit mentality”.
“Whatever has happened with a Dalit lady in the US, we cannot ignore it. But it has also unmasked the Centre's anti-Dalit mentality,” Mayawati said outside Parliament when told that by making it a Dalit issue, the whole thing has been diluted now.
Devyani, the Depute Consul General of India in New York, was arrested and strip searched last week in the US causing a furore here and all political parties cutting across party lines demanded tit-for-tat action against the US.
