Balmiki Dharam Samaj slams Hooda govt for Jat bias; calls for
President's rule in Haryana
Express News Service Posted online: Fri Feb 18 2011, 22:59 hrs
Chandigarh : Members of the Bhartiya Balmiki Dharam Samaj today
demanded the suspension of the Bhupinder Singh Hooda led government in
Haryana for having failed to protect the interest of the Dalits in the
state.

Addressing a press conference here, the president of the Samaj,
Chandrapal Anarya, said the state government was openly siding with
Jats, and the Dalits in the state were feeling the brunt of this bias.

Demanding the imposition of President's rule in the state the members
said the Dalits in Mirchpur were the most affected and were living
like refugees in their own country.

They said the government had made no efforts whatsoever to bring back
the Dalit families who had fled Mirchpur following the violent
incident in which Jats had allegedly burnt to death two Dalits in
April last year. Anarya added that the district administration had
also not done anything to allay the fears of the Dalits.

He also pointed out that the state government had not made public the
outcome of the meeting between the Jat leaders and the chief minister
in Kaithal on the last day of the Jat protest.
