Ramesh Sarvaiya.

AHMEDABAD: Ramesh Sarvaiya , one of the four youths flogged by self-styled cow vigilantes in Una town of Gir Somnath district of Gujarat on July 11 last year, has prepared a special soap for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath .

Sarvaiya will send his 200-odd gram soap encrypted with face of Lord Buddha along with a 125-kg giant soap bar to Adityanath.

Talking to TOI, Sarvaiya said, "When I heard that the UP government officials had distributed soaps and shampoo sachets to dalits before Yogi Adityanath's visit in Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh, I felt it was sheer humiliation of the entire community. This show how filthy is their mind. They distributed soap to clean filth on our body, now I have prepared a small soap for Yogi Adityanath so he can clear the filth of his mind."

"The flogging incident was cruelty to us because we belong to dalit community. This incident of distribution of soap and shampoo also shows discrimination towards our community. Both the incidents are condemnable and through such means, we register our protest towards UP CM," added Sarvaiya.

He said that it took three hours to prepare the soap which may be useful for the UP CM.

Sarvaiya along with his brothers Vashram, Ashok and Bechar, was beaten by the gau rakshaks or cow vigilantes for skinning a dead cow. The incident shook the conscience of entire nation and gave rise to a dalit rights movement in Gujarat.
