Lucknow, Nov 3 (IANS) National Commission for Scheduled Castes
Chairman P.L. Punia Wednesday accused Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Mayawati of being insensitive to the problems faced by Dalits.
He also alleged that she was not taking any serious steps to prevent
atrocities against them.
'In the last five-six months, several incidents of rape and killing of
Dalits took place in districts like Muzaffarnagar, Basti, Kannauj and
Hathras, but the state government preferred to remain silent on all
such incidents,' Punia told reporters at a press conference here.
'Even when the commission sought a report from the state government on
the incidents, the government failed to reply. It clearly reflects the
non-serious attitude of the Mayawati government which claims to
protect rights of Dalits and backward communities,' he added.
Punia said that the commission was looking at ways to ensure that
timely action was taken on first information reports (FIRs) and
complaints filed by Dalits.
'We are working to ensure that the investigations in the complaint
made by Dalits are completed within a month of registering the FIR so
that the court hearing in the case could also start within three
months,' said Punia.
