Increasing attacks on Dalits worrisome, says sene
Special Correspondent
Gulbarga police accused of failing to curb attacks
Against violence: Dalit Sene members picketing the office of the
Deputy Commissioner in Gulbarga on Wednesday.
The district unit of the Dalit Sene has accused the police in Gulbarga
district of failing to control the attacks on Dalits and said that the
low conviction rate was due to lack of commitment by the State
Government to pursue the cases.
The sene members, led by president Dattatreya R. Kudaki and general
secretary Vijaykumar Kamble, came in a procession from Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel Chowk to the Deputy Commissioner's office and staged
a rasta roko for about 30 minutes before picketing the office of the
Deputy Commissioner for about an hour.
In a memorandum addressed to Governor H.R. Bhardwaj and submitted to
the district authorities, the sene pointed out that attacks on Dalits
had increased after the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power. Of the
4,299 cases filed, only 40 had ended in conviction, they said.
