[ZESTCaste] Ambedkar opposes Mayawati's statement on Cong's dalit PM card

Ambedkar opposes Mayawati's statement on Cong's dalit PM card
HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times
Nagpur, October 15, 2011

Former Lok Sabha member and RPI leader, Prakash Ambedkar on Saturday
took a strong exception to UP chief minister Mayawati's statement that
the nation should not be surprised if the Congress appoints a Dalit
prime minister in place of Manmohan Singh ahead of Uttar Pradesh
elections to garner
dalit votes.

Ambedkar, the grandson of Dalit icon Babasaheb Ambedkar, questioned
why Mayawati felt apprehensive if the Congress appoints Lok Sabha
speaker Meira Kumar or union energy minister Sushil Kumar Shinde as
prime minister to garner dalit sympathy and votes.

At the opening of the Rs 685-crore Dalit Prerna Sthal on Friday,
Mayawati used the opportunity to kickstart her state elections
campaign, slated for 2012.

She speculated that the Congress wanted to dent the BSP's strong Dalit
vote bank and for this, it could name a Dalit leader for the PM's
post. She went on the claim that the Congress can stage the 'drama' of
appointing either Shinde or Kumar as prime minister for some time to
lure the Dalits.

Ambedkar said Mayawati should be happy if a Dalit becomes the Prime
Minister. Both Shinde and Kumar are competent, Ambedkar added. Besides
these two leaders, he said, the Congress has veteran leader like Buta
Singh and Kumari Selja.

Mayawati also termed the Congress as "anti-Dalit" and to substantiate
her claim she said that the Congress never allowed Babu Jagjivan Ram -
Meira Kumar's father - who dedicated his life to the Congress -- to
become the Prime Minister.

To a question, Ambedkar reiterated his call for a non-Congress non-BJP
third front, including the Left parties to oust the ruling UPA and the
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by BJP - as the main opposition
alliance.

[ZESTCaste] Dalits push their version of Lokpal bill

http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_exclusive-where-do-we-take-our-dead-and-go-ask-dalits_1599355-all

IANS
Dalits push their version of Lokpal bill
2011-10-15 20:00:00

New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) A representative of Dalit organisations
Saturday sought support for their version of the anti-graft bill,
claiming that the Jan Lokpal bill drafted by Team Anna 'will disturb
the constitutional balance'.

'The Jan Lokpal bill wants the executive, the judiciary and the
legislature should report to the Lokpal. This will disturb the fine
constitutional balance,' said All India Confederation of SC/ST
Organisations chairman Udit Raj, seeking support for their version of
the proposed legislation called the Bahujan Lokpal bill.

Speaking at a seminar, he sought reservation for Dalits and minorities
in the proposed anti-corruption set-up through the Bahujan Lokpal
bill. 'If Anna supports our demand, we will back him.'

'Dalits, including the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes and
minorities, form a large percentage of population and must be involved
in the Lokpal,' Udit Raj said at the seminar on various versions of
the proposed legislation.

Swami Agnivesh, a former member of Team Anna, also supported the
demand for a quota for Dalits and minorities in the proposed Lokpal
set-up.

'No legislation or movement will be successful if it does not have
social justice,' said Agnivesh.

Shazia Ilmi, a member of Team Anna, said, 'our movement follows
parliamentary procedures' and 'was not opposed to giving reservation
to the Dalits and minorities'.

'We are basically against corruption and want a strong Lokpal,' said Shazia.

Udit Raj said even if the Lokpal bill was passed, 'there is no
guarantee it will be effective in rooting out corruption'.

The parliamentary standing committee on law and justice headed by
Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi is looking into various drafts of
the Lokpal bill, including the Jan Lokpal bill.

The panel is expected to submit its recommendations to parliament by
the winter session, which is usually held in November-December.
