TN Dalit deaths: Paswan seeks probe by HC judge

Last Updated: Tuesday, September 27, 2011, 20:34

New Delhi: The Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) headed by Ram Vilas Paswan on
Tuesday demanded an inquiry through a sitting high court judge into
the alleged police "brutality" on Dalits in Tamil Nadu's Ramnathpuram
where six people lost their lives in firing by cops.

Paswan, who met Home Minister P Chidambaram, also demanded that all
"guilty" policemen should be placed under suspension immediately and
booked for murder. He also demanded a compensation of Rs 20 lakh to
the kin of each of the deceased.

"The gruesome act has caused anger among the Dalits not only in Tamil
Nadu but across the country," he told reporters.

The LJP leader said the Home Minister gave a patient hearing and
assured them that necessary action will be taken in this regard.

[ZESTCaste] On BJP radar: extremely backward castes, Dalits and minorities

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/on-bjp-radar-extremely-backward-castes-dalits-and-minorities/852955/

On BJP radar: extremely backward castes, Dalits and minorities

Lalmani Verma Posted online: Wed Sep 28 2011, 03:28 hrs
Lucknow : As the Assembly elections are drawing near, the Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) is planning a slew of 'sammelans' as part of its
efforts to woo voters of extremely backward castes, Dalits and the
minorities.

The party will hold a 'samajik nyaya sammelan' for OBCs in Lucknow on
September 29, a 'Dalit adhikar mahasammelan' on September 30, a Sahu
Samaj meeting on October 2, a conference for minorities on October 3
and another one for the Prajapati Samaj on October 9.

Different functions will be organised on October 11 to celebrate the
birth anniversary of Maharishi Valmiki as well. Though corruption and
law and order are the party's plank for the 2012 polls, the BJP has
decided not to speak much on these issues in these conferences but
will highlight the grievances of these communities instead.

"We are identifying the grievances of these communities that were
never addressed by any party. Their grievances will be main agenda of
these sammelans instead of corruption," said Ramnath Kovind, who is
the party's national spokesperson and in charge of its National
Scheduled Castes Cell. "We will highlight the report of an agency that
shows a 10 per cent annual rise in cases of atrocities against Dalits
in UP during the past four years," Kovind said.

Kovind said that the party will highlight the issue of
'untouchability' that hindered the growth of Dalits and extreme
backward castes in UP. It will blame the Samajwadi Party and BSP for
using these communities for political reasons.

Senior leaders Rajnath Singh, Uma Bharti, national vice-presidents
Vinay Katiyar, Kalraj Mishra, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and state president
Surya Pratap Shahi will address these conferences. Party leaders will
start camping in Lucknow from Wednesday. Kovind reached Lucknow on
Tuesday to supervise the preparations for the 'Dalit Adhikar
Mahasammelan'. Sources said the idea of targeting these communities by
organising different meetings has been floated by Sanjay Joshi, who
was recently asked to oversee poll preparations in UP.

Another leader said the party has made an assessment that the
extremely backward sections were not loyal to any particular political
outfit and so the BJP can join the race to woo them.

[ZESTCaste] Mayawati to announce Hapur as UP’s 73rd district

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/maya-to-announce-hapur-as-ups-73rd-district/852957/

Mayawati to announce Hapur as UP's 73rd district

Dipankar Ghose Posted online: Wed Sep 28 2011, 03:32 hrs

Ghaziabad : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati is set to announce
Hapur as a new district when she visits the region on Wednesday.
Officials said Hapur will be carved out of the districts of Ghaziabad,
Bulandshahr and Meerut.

The region will become Uttar Pradesh's 73rd district and is likely to
be named after dalit icon Periyar E V Ramasamy, officials said. This
is the 14th district Mayawati will be announcing as the chief
minister.

The demand for a separate Hapur district is a longstanding one, dating
to 1976, when the district of Ghaziabad was carved out of Meerut. At
the time, a separate district of Hapur was also being considered, but
the plan was shelved in favour of a Ghaziabad district.

The last district that came into being on recommendation of the
Mayawati government was Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar in 2010,
which consists of three tehsils of Sultanpur district — Amethi,
Gauriganj and Musafirkhana — and two tehsils of Rae Bareli — Salon and
Tiloi.

Officials of the Ghaziabad District Authority said the new district
will comprise four tehsils — Hapur, Garhmukteshwar, Dhaulana and
Syana. The police stations to be included in Hapur are Hapur
(Kotwali), Hapur(Dewat), Pilkhuwa, Babugarh, Dhaulana, Hafizpur,
Mansoori, Simbhawali and Garhmukteswar, Syana, Bibinagar, Agauta,
Narsena and Kharkhauda.

The last time the district of Ghaziabad was divided was in 1997, when
Gautam Budh Nagar was formed, including some areas of Bulandshahr
district. At that time also there were voices demanding the creation
of a separate Hapur district.

On the condition of anonymity, officials said two other districts are
also in the pipeline.

Shamli district, to be created out of Muzaffarnagar, and a separate
Deoband district.

The Chief Minister is scheduled to arrive at Dewan Public School at 1
pm, where a makeshift helipad has been put in place.

After addressing supporters and the media where the official
announcement is expected, she will also visit the tehsil headquarters
as well as the local police station.
