State President of Congress Scheduled Caste Department Pradeep Ahirwar said that more than two thousand workers from the entire state have come to join this siege. Be it Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe class, a lot of atrocities are being committed on them in the entire state. The land allotted to these classes in Digvijay Singh's government is still occupied by the goons. Our reservation is also in danger. We are protesting on all these issues.
Pradeep Ahirwar said, Dalits are killed after stripping them, Dalit daughters die under suspicious circumstances. In Ashoknagar, a woman from Scheduled Caste is killed by entering her house. In Sagar, BJP is building a temple of Sant Ravidas ji at a cost of Rs 100 crores, the entire country knows how people from the same class are killed. Madhya Pradesh has become a state of hell under Mohan Yadav's government. When Congress fights for Dalits and demands a CBI inquiry, BJP said that Congress is doing politics.
In-charge of Congress departments and cells JP Dhanopia, said, Dalits, Adivasis and deprived classes are being oppressed in Madhya Pradesh. The incident of Barodiya Nonagir in Sagar is in front of everyone. Recently, a person was shot dead in public in Singrauli. They kill by hanging in jail and claim that person died of suicide. There is no concern of Dalits, nor Adivasis nor backward classes in the state.
