'Deputy Commissioner has failed to protect Dalits'
Special Correspondent
The Federation of Dalit Organisations has accused Gulbarga district
Deputy Commissioner R. Vishal of pursuing anti-Dalit policies and not
taking concrete steps to prevent recurring incidents of atrocities on
the community.
Members of the federation staged a demonstration here and demanded the
transfer of Mr. Vishal from the district. They marched to the Deputy
Commissioner's office, shouting slogans against the Deputy
Commissioner for his alleged anti-Dalit stance.
In a memorandum addressed to Governor H.R. Bhardwaj and submitted to
the district authorities, the Dalit leaders said the district
administration had failed to prevent the increasing cases of
atrocities against Dalits in the district. They said the Deputy
Commissioner had neither paid a customary visit to the victims of
atrocities nor had he provided compensation to them.
The failure on the part of the Deputy Commissioner to deal with the
perpetrators of attacks on Dalits firmly had only emboldened vested
elements, they said.
They referred to the attack on Dalit youth, Kiran Jadhav, on July 17,
by a group of persons led by the former Opposition leader in the city
corporation, Vijaykumar Sevalani. Although the police belatedly filed
a case of attempt to murder, the accused had not yet been arrested.
The federation accused the Deputy Commissioner of foisting false cases
against those who questioned his acts.
