*Dalit Sarpanch (Mukhiya) was refrained from hoisting National Flag***
*The National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR) has received
information that a Dalit 'Sarpanch' (village head) was refrained from
hoisting National Flag on the occasion of Republic Day of India on 26
thJanuary in village-Methwaliya.
PS-Riwilganj. Dist- Chappra in ** Bihar state of India. The Case information
is as follows:*
Shivji manjhi is a Dalit village head (Sarpanch) of Methwaliya Panchayat and
he went to Panchayat Bhawan (Building) on 26th January to hoist Nation Flag
that time dominant caste person Muni Singh and his two friends stopped him
and told him that he is a Dalit so he would not Flag. They beat him brutally
and removed his clothes.
Dalits of the village had given the complaints to local police station but
Police did not register their complaints. Due to fear these Dalit families
flew away from their village and since then they are seeking justice but
Govt. or media has not paid any heed.
*National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR) is taking this case of
atrocity on Dalit families very seriously and organizing a fact finding
team. Soon this team will visit the incident village and will find the
facts. NCDHR will get back with a Fact Finding report shortly. *
