Take note of atrocities against dalits, say MPs STAFF WRITER 14:38 HRS IST New Delhi, Apr 22 (PTI) Issues relating to dalits and scheduled castes were today raised in the Lok Sabha with BJP demanding that the Centre take note of growing cases of atrocities against them, particularly in Haryana. Virender Kashyap (BJP) referred to a recent incident in Haryana where an entire village of dalits was burnt down and a handicapped girl killed. He said several such incidents had taken place in the state in the past few years. "Even the administration does not take any timely action to prevent them," he rued. "Inaction by the police" in preventing the recent incident reflects the law and order situation in Haryana, he said, adding that similar incidents were taking place in other states also. Kashyap, who demanded that the Centre should take notice of such cases, got immediate support from different sections of the House, including some Congress members.
