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.
