The UP Congress accused the Centre of doing `contempt of court’ by assuring to bring in an ordinance in the matter related to SC & ST community.
``The matter of withdrawing relaxation to the SC and ST Act or other matters related to Dalits are pending in the Apex court. Even then, Union minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Ram Vilas Paswan assured that in case of an adverse decision, the Union government will bring in an ordinance in favour of Dalits,” pointed out spokesman UP Congress spokean, Amarnath Agarwal.
“Such government announcements apprehending adverse decisions from Apex court is a glaring example of contempt of court. It merely exposes the Union government’s scant respect towards the decisions by the Supreme Court,” alleged Agarwal.
The Congress spokesman also expressed his party’s concern towards the loss of life and property in the that lashed the state on Wednesday night.
“While people were falling prey to natural calamity in the state, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is busy campaigning for the party in poll-bound Karnatka. Even member sof t he ruling party have started criticising the working of the Chief Minister,” Agarwal alleged.
