Mayawati calls disputed structure in Ayodhya 'Babri Masjid', says Ambedkar was 'secular'

Lucknow: BSP supremo Mayawati on Sunday described the disputed structure at Ayodhya as 'Babri Masjid'. 

"Babri Masjid was demolished by communal forces," Mayawati said.

"The demolition took place on the death anniversary of Dr Ambedkar who was 'secular'," the BSP supremo added.

She was speaking on the 60th death anniversary of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. Also, 6th December marks the anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition.

Political experts are seeing this statement of Mayawati as an attempt to woo Muslim vote bank in the wake of 2017 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.
