Govt seeks Mahadalit panel's opinion on Dusadhs
TNN 24 November 2009, 02:05am IST
PATNA: CM Nitish Kumar said on Monday that he has suggested to the
Mahadalit commission to study the condition of the Dusadh caste and
give its recommendations. Dusadh or Paswan is now the only scheduled
caste which is in Dalit category since all other Dalit castes have
been accorded the status of Mahadalit.
LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan has strongly resented the move of the state
government in isolating the Dusadh caste by not including it the list
of Mahadalits.
Nitish said that the panel has already submitted three reports and on
the basis of those reports the government has acted and accorded
facilities for the development of the deprived SC castes. However, he
reiterated that his government did not interfere in the SC list, but
at the same time the state governments are empowered to initiative
special measures for the depressed SC castes.
Nitish, however, refused to say whether the government would accord
Mahadalit status to Dusadh caste. "Let's see what the panel
recommends," he told TOI.
