Congress Blames Gujarat Government: The Congress has launched a scathing attack on the Modi government of the Center and the BJP government of the state over the atrocities on Dalits and weaker sections in Gujarat. Congress MLA from Gujarat Jignesh Mevani said that people of BJP-RSS, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, do not believe in the constitution of Babasaheb Ambedkar, but they believe in the values ​​of Manusmriti.
Mevani reminded that the people of RSS-BJP have said things like ‘throwing the constitution of Babasaheb Ambedkar in the sea’ and ‘We want Manusmriti’, not the Constitution of India ‘. The result of this thinking is that copies of the Constitution were lit on the streets of Delhi, Rohit Vemula was forced to commit suicide, Hathras’s daughter’s family did not have her last darshan and Dalit youths were brutally beaten in Una, Gujarat. He also mentioned on behalf of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to say ‘Ambedkar-Ambedkar has become fashion nowadays’ on behalf of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Congress mentioned incidents in Gujarat
In a series of incidents in Gujarat, the Congress leader said that a 19 -year -old Dalit youth was murdered in Amreli, Dalit elderly was burnt alive in Patan. In Surendranagar district, bullets were fired from AK-47 on Dalit boys going to file a complaint of atrocities.
He also exposed the terrible case of gang rape of a Dalit girl in Santrampur for 11 days, which included three BJP leaders. He told how the first FIR named BJP leaders was tore by the police sub-inspector and ASI along with the pages of the station diary and the culprits were left with a penalty of only three thousand rupees.
How many percent of the culprits get punished in cases of atrocities on Dalits
Mevani also cited a very low rate of punishment of the culprits in cases of atrocities on Dalits. He said that at the national level this figure is 30-35 percent, whereas in Gujarat it is only three to five percent, which means that 95 percent criminals are missed.
Congress leader accused the state government of inaction
The Congress leader targeted the inaction of the BJP government of the state. Along with this, after the incident of kidnapping and harassment of a Dalit youth in Gondal of Rajkot, he strongly criticized the Chief Minister’s involvement in the program instead of meeting the victim.
He questioned the statement given by Prime Minister Modi after the incident of Una, in which he said, “If you want to kill, kill me, do not kill my Dalit brothers.” He asked why the atrocities with Dalits and tribals in every corner of the country are not stopping.
GPSC Jignesh Mevani said about discrimination
Describing the Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) as the base of casteism, he said that Dalits, OBCs and tribal students are discriminated against and they are deliberately given low numbers in the interview. He said that under a well-planned conspiracy, the thumb of only the only union society is being cut. Mevani said that the Congress party is preparing for a big performance in August-September against the atrocities with Dalits, tribals and weaker sections in Gujarat.
