“The digital tirade against our supremo Chandrashekar Azad is very unfortunate and reprehensible. It’s time to sit together and dispel any misunderstanding about the party,” added Khan.

Police Complaint Filed Under BNS Provisions

The situation has come to such a pass when the Azad Samaj Party (K) and Bhim Army have jointly petitioned the police of the SC and ST thana to institute a criminal case against some big personalities of the Brahmin Samaj who are out to tarnish and intimidate not only their supremo but the functionaries of the party and Bhim Army here in Palamu.

As per the new provisions of the BNS, such a complaint arising out of hate content or malice towards caste and creed is to be investigated by the police in 14 days from the date of the lodging of the complaint and here in this case, the complaint petition has been filed on June 14.

Call for Reconciliation and Constructive Dialogue

The Azad Samaj Party (K) and Bhim Army aim at the welfare of all people irrespective of caste and colour, Khan reiterated.
