The State BJP unit has once again raised the issue of rising atrocities against Scheduled Caste members in State.
The State BJP in this connection will knock Governor Droupadi Murmu’s door on Friday, highlighting the recent atrocities against scheduled caste members.
State BJP SC Cell president Amar Kumar Bauri addressing a press conference said that atrocities against SC community have gone up in the JMM/Congress regime. Highlighting some cases, Bauri said that in Sahibganj district, one Pankaj Mishra has grabbed the land of one Dinesh Paswan.
When Paswan approached district administration with his plea, police refused to lodge the case as Paswan is close to top JMM leadership in State.
Similarly, he said last month members of the SC community were badly beaten up by members of the minority community for trivial reasons at Majhgoan in Chaibasa district.
The SC community members, who are sweepers were beaten up as they didn’t turn up for cleaning work. The local police who were supposed to take action against the people who were behind the incident were indulged in suppressing the matter, he said.
The SC community members on Thursday visited State BJP president Deepak Prakash and informed about the incident.
Bauri, the former Minister, also said several Turi families of Chirudih in Jamtara were also part of the minority community. The minority community who constitute a large chunk of population are also involved in land grabbing sprees of Turi members.
The BJP leader said that SC Morcha leaders informed the National Commission for Scheduled Castes about the incident. The commission team, which visited the site, found the matter to be true. The district administration had ensured the arrest of culprits behind the incident, but till date the main accused Ramzan Mian and other accused have not been arrested. At present, the victim’s family is forced to live in the night shelter.
Bauri demanded the government to take action in all the cases along with the security of the SC community in the State. He also said that Morcha will fight for the rights and protection of the SC community in the State.
