PTI | 05:03 PM,Mar 24,2011

Dehra Dun, Mar 24 (PTI) The issue of rape of a minor dalit girl in
Haridwar district was raised in Uttarakhand Assembly today by BSP
members, who demanded a detailed discussion over the plight of dalits
in the hill state. Raising the issue through adjournment motion during
the Zero Hour, Leader of BSP legislature party Mohammed Shehzad said a
14-year-old dalit girl was raped at Libberheri in Mangalore area of
Haridwar district on March 22. He said an 11-year-old dalit girl was
also raped in the area last year and similar incidents of rape and
other crimes against dalits were being reported from various parts of
the state and the situation had reached an "alarming stage". Alleging
that the government had failed to check such incidents, he said there
was urgent need to hold a detailed discussion over the problem and
find a solution to it. Shehzad was supported by his party MLAs as well
as some members from Congress who also urged Speaker Harbans Kapoor to
allow a discussion over the issue. Parliamentary Affairs Minister
Prakash Pant said the government was ready to give its reply over the
issue and the information regarding this specific case was being
collected. As the BSP members were pressing for their demand, Kapoor
adjourned the House for lunch.
