The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) has now taken cognisance of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s alleged “insult” to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and issued a notice to the State’s Chief Secretary and Director-General of Police.

This comes a week after visuals emerged of the Rashtriya Janata Dal chief celebrating his birthday on June 11, during which a portrait of Dr. Ambedkar was purportedly seen being placed near his feet.
