Mirchpur Dalits meet Governor Pahadia, seek rehabilitation
Express News Service Posted online: Thu Feb 03 2011, 00:02 hrs
Chandigarh : A delegation of Dalits from Mirchpur village in Hisar
submitted a memorandum to Haryana Governor Jagannath Pahadia on
Wednesday, demanding rehabilitation, employment, education,
development and health facilities.
The delegation, under the banner of Haryana Valmiki Yuva Mahasabha,
explained in the memorandum the causes and reasons for the plight of
Dalits in Mirchpur who feared for their lives from the dominant Jat
community.
The delegation was led by Sanjiv Gharu, state president of the
mahasabha, who charged the government with adopting double standards
while dealing with the Dalits.
During the recent agitation by Jats, who blocked rail and road
traffic, the government accepted their demand, but the same government
had turned a blind eye to the plight of the Dalits of Mirchpur, he
said.
He said the Haryana government must openly tell the people what "deal"
had been struck with the Jats after which they ended their 11-day
stir.
