Congress worker Dharmpal Natkhat filed complaint against Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Ajay Maken on Monday for hurling abuses at him and alleged that the ill-treatment was meted out to him as he is a dalit.
Recalling the sequence of events which led to this episode, Mr Natkhat told that he had come to meet Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on his 46th birthday. “I told him (Rahul) my son died and I am a party worker, but Ajay Maken didn’t visit my place. Rahul ji asked Mr Maken to visit my place. He (Ajay Maken) thought I was complaining against him. He called me after half-an-hour and started abusing me. I was treated like that because I am a dalit,” Mr Natkhat said.
“What wrong did I do I met Sonia ji. I have lodged an FIR in this regard at the Mandir Marg police station,” he added. Mr Natkhat further said that he got threatening calls to withdraw the complaint against Mr Maken.
“They told me if I am seen anywhere nearby the AICC office, my second son would be killed. Where should I go now It was shocking that he used such languages,” he added. “I said I won’t take back the complaint even if it costs my life,” he added.
