BSP members stage stir to protest Dalit killings in Haryana
Chikmagalur: April 25, DHNS:

Members of the Bahujana Samajavadi Party (BSP) burnt the effigy of
Haryana government near Hanumatha Circle in Chikmagalur on Sunday to
condemn the incident, where two Dalits were killed by setting ablaze,
in Mirchpur village of Hisar district in Haryana State on Wednesday.


Speaking on the occasion, BSP District President K T Radhakrishna said
that it was a inhumane act that an 18-year-old physically challenged
Dalit girl and her father were killed by setting them on fire just for
a silly reason that their dogs barked at an upper cast member. "The
incident is a disgrace to the secular system of our nation," he
criticised and alleged that the incident was a part of an organised
conspiracy of casteists to eradicate secular system from our nation.
Secular organisations should join hands to fight against such inhumane
and anti-secular movements, Radhakrishna said.

The Haryana Chief Minister, who failed to prevent such incidents,
should own up the responsibility and resign from the post, he
demanded. Those miscreants should be nabbed and should be brought
before the law, he added. Leader Velayudhan said that the Haryana
incident is a testimony to the fact that the communal forces are
gaining control over government. Downtrodden people will be free from
all tortures, only if they secure political power through unity, he
said. "The soft stand of the government towards communal organisations
was the reason for recurrence of atrocities against downtrodden class
in India," he added.

BSP State In-Charge Committee Secretary G K Basavaraju, Leaders
Eshwar, Srinivas and Gangadhar were present.
