LUCKNOW: Protesting against yoga guru Ramdev for his "honeymoon and picnic" remarks, Bahujan Samaj Party workers burnt his effigy in Shahpur town of Muzaffarnagar district. The party workers burnt effigy of Ramdev at Shahpur late on Sunday evening for hurting Dalit sentiments and also demanded his immediate arrest.
Baba Ramdev in a programme in Lucknow last week, had said that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi goes to Dalits' houses for honeymoon and picnic, which received flak from all corners.
Party activist Ram Surajmal Arya said that a case should be registered against Baba Ramdev under the SC/ST Act by the Uttar Prades government. In a similar protest in neighbouring district Shamli, led by BSP office bearer Rajender Upadhayay, workers burnt effigy and raised slogans against the yoga guru.
