Haryana Valmiki Yuva Mahasabha, an organisation representing Dalits,
on Wednesday alleged Haryana government was turning a blind eye to the
exodus of fear-stricken Dalits from Hisar district's Mirchpur village.
"During the past nine days, most of the Dalit families have shifted
from there but the
government has turned a blind eye and they have not stepped in to stop
this. The Dalits have been forced to shift to other places in Hisar
and elsewhere because of sense of insecurity and persistent social
boycott and ostracisation," Mahasabha's President Sanjeev Gharoo said
here.
He led a delegation of Dalits and submitted a memorandum to Haryana
Governor Jagannath Pahadia here to bring to his notice the problems
being faced by Dalits at Mirchpur where a Dalit man and his daughter
were burnt to death last year allegedly by upper caste members.
Gharoo said they had brought to the Governor's notice the alleged
discrimination being meted out to Dalits in Mirchpur.
"Meeting their daily needs has become difficult for the Dalits who are
still left in Mirchpur because of the social boycott at the hands of
the dominant community. We cannot tolerate this grave injustice being
meted out to us, with the government remaining a mute spectator," he
alleged.
