Nazi chief calls Babasaheb “stooge” of Nizam  

Bombay: The statement by the Shiv Sena chief, Bal Thackeray, in Sangli on Aug.21 about Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s connection with the Nizam of Hyderabad has kicked up a controversy. Thackeray had said in Sangli that Dr. Ambedkar was a “stooge” of the Nizam. Dalit organisations and the RPI, at two separate press conferences, protested against the Sena chief’s statement.
