Anna Hazare effigy was burned by an ex Congress MLA and supporters of Dr Ambedkar citing that the Gandhian was subverting the Indian constitution created by their leader. Ex Congress MLA and party functionary Ku Selvathanthai along with members of the apex body Ambedkar Desam of all pro Ambedkar organizations turned up near the statue of their leader near the Nehru stadium and burned the effigy of Anna Hazare. They shouted slogans saying that the constitution framed by their revered leader to protect the oppressed classes was being subverted by upper class led agitation.
The supporters then garlanded Dr Ambedkar statue and marched away. They pointed out not a single Dalit was in the panel for drafting the Jana lok Pal bill. They termed it as an upper caste agitation. While effigy of Manmohan Singh are burnt elsewhere the novel protest from Dalits evoked curiosity. As reported earlier Christian- Muslim organizations have kept away from the fast. Shiva Sena Chief Thackeray asked Anna to hand over the baton to Kiran Bedi and other team members to carry on the protest.Dr Ambedkar supporters burn Anna Hazare effigy in Chennai
