Pune, January 1, 2021: The history of the Battle of Bhima Koregaon should be included in the school textbooks. Making this demand, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale said that he would talk to Maharashtra School Education Minister and write a letter to the government. He said that this history should be taught in schools so that students are aware of it. 

Athawale had gone to Koregaon Bhima to pay tributes at the victory pillar at Perne phata near Bhima Koregaon on Ahmednagar-Pune highway today.

Dalit-Savarna dispute must end

Talking to reporters in Pune, Athawale said that social harmony is very important in the country. Also, the end of the Dalit-Savarna dispute is very important. Only then will the atrocities on Dalits truly be stopped. Villages must imbibe the values of unity. If the Savarna-Dalit dispute is over, the country will develop faster. He also stated that the Modi government is committed to giving justice to Dalits.

Will strengthen the party in the New Year

Taking a fresh resolution in the New Year, Athawale said that he will work to make the party even stronger this year. To expand the party across the country, they will use the slogan ‘I am Republican’. 

Athawale while replying to Prakash Ambedkar, Athawale said that I know that the state government has no concrete plan to deal with the corona epidemic, but the central government has a plan to put the country’s economy back on track and work is being done on it. 

Earlier Prakash Ambedkar had targeted the state government and said that the state government has proved to be a complete failure in dealing with Corona. Prakash Ambedkar said that he will talk only on the issue of Elgar Parishad. It will not be right to speak on Bhima Koregaon riot right now.
