unjustified and which is unacceptable.
In his letter Investigation officer state an analysis copy is attached with 
this letter. However no attachment is received with your letter.
It is known that Savitri Bai Phule Women Forum is working for the marginalized 
women on the principal of Baba Bhim Rao Ambedkar Sahab. In this perspective I 
appreciate the uninterrupted step taken by honorable Chief Minister Ms. 
Mayawati and her office.
On 13th April, 2008 Pritam was properly diagnosed in Primary Health Centre, 
Tanda Ambedkar Nagar detailed report is written in medical slip no. 9579. Two 
and half year old Pritam weigh only 5 kg. Pritam is suffering from PEM (Protein 
Energy Malnutrition, acute malnutrition) Grade IV. This is written by doctor. 
Pritam get in the grip of malnutrition based disease Pneumonia. 
In socio economical history doctors wrote Low Socio Economical Group.  In 
the name of immunization only polio vaccination is mentioned. From this it is 
clear Pritam was suffering from PEM Grade IV. On 24th November, 2007 and 17th 
October, 2007 District Coordinator of organization Mr. Manoj Kumar Singh write 
letter to District Programme officer ICDS.
On 16th April, 2007 it was published in Rashtriya Sahara daily news paper that 
member of Women Commission visit Alhadadpur village, in which news of Pritam 2 
½ year old son of Raj Karan was also placed in that column. 
On 15th April, 2007 it was published in daily Hindi newspaper Dainik Jagran – 
"Arkhapur village in the grip of Malnutrition" in which Pritam name was 
mentioned. On 25th May, 2007 Pritam name was also mentioned in Juli death news. 
On 20th October, 2007 in Danik Jagran it was published "several families in the 
grip of Malnutrition" in which Pritam is struggling for his life. In the first 
week of November Bijo Francis from Asian Human Rights Commission and Dr. Lenin 
of People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights visit Alhadadpur village and 
meet with Pritam.
On 24th November, 2007 Pritam was defeated while fighting with malnutrition. 
Many months Pritam was alive with the assistance of Care House Foundation; 
however Administration did not pay attention which result death of Pritam. 
Which is absolute violation of guideline given by Government on 22 December, 
2004. On 4th December, 2007 Asian Human Rights Commission releases urgent 
appeal because Mr. Manoj Singh was getting threat. On 27th November, 2007 
Pritam mother Mrs. Chandrawati said in the testimony that on 24th December, 
2007 Pritam died due to poverty and malnutrition.  15 biswa paddies get 
dried as there were no proper irrigation facilities. Officers in Pritam house 
said why are you giving birth to so many children? They have one acre of land 
but actually they have only 15 biswa of land.  No vaccination was given 
and neither distribution nutritious food to the child. Officers forcefully took 
signature of Raj Karan and said you have buffalo
 and other business. You did not come under Below Poverty Line (BPL). 
On 26th November, 2007 Mr. Manoj Kumar Singh write letter to District 
Magistrate Ambedkar Nagar alleged people should be punished and also demands 
for economic assistance without any interruption. Till now nothing is done in 
the case. However Raj Karan who belongs to schedule caste is forced for thumb 
print in paper to wipe out, which is violation of Schedule Caste and Schedule 
Tribe Preventive of Atrocities Act 1989. On 26th November, 2007 I sent letter 
to honorable Chief Minister, National Human Rights Commission and District 
Magistrate Ambedkar Nagar through registered post. 
This how report of Child Development Service and Nourishment is unjustifiable 
and false and appropriate action should be taken for producing false report and 
giving threat to Human Rights Defender.

My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have faith 
in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can loose our 
battle.. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the fullest 
sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For ours is a 
battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It is the battle 
of reclamation of human personality…. 
Dr. B.R.Ambedkar
