LUCKNOW: Chief minister Mayawati on Tuesday launched a counter
offensive on the Congress party which has been most vocal in attacking
the CM over alleged rape and murder of a teenage girl in Nighasan,
Lakhimpur Kheri. She shot off a letter to the prime minister drawing
his attention towards the plights of dalits at Mirchpur, the Congress
ruled Haryana. She has questioned various national commissions who
have taken congnizance of criminal cases in UP but have turned a blind
eye towards atrocities on poor and women in Congress ruled states.Maya
has asked the PM to ensure justice for the victims of Mirchpur.
On April 21, 2010 two dalits were killed in Mirchpur and their houses
were set ablaze. Mayawati has said that why National Commission for
Scheduled Caste chairman P L Punia who is a also a resident of Haryana
overlooked the incident.
The plight of dalit victims of Mirchpur. Even after courts directions
to help dalit, nothing substantial has been done by the Haryana
government. The victims, instead of help, were caned by Haryana police
when they went to lodge a protest. The victims included women, elderly
and children.
The chief minister has also written that National Commission for Women
(NCW) has also not taken note of the plight of dalit women in
Mirchpur, whereas it reacted promptly when Congress lodged a false
complaint about harassment in Bhatta-Parsaul in UP. Similarly, the
National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) came to UP for probe in almost
all the incidents of violence politicised by the Congress but it did
not visit Haryana. She also referred to the silence of the NHRC over
daylight murder of a journalist in Mumbai. This shows that NCSC, NHRC
and NCW are working like political parties and following the agenda
set up by the Congress.
Meanwhile, BSP spokesman said that the post-mortem report in Nighasan
incident has confirmed murder but ruled out rape. However, the
Opposition continue to describe the incident as rape. He pointed out
that in Banda rape case, CB-CID did a good job and cracked the case
following which the accused BSP MLA was sent to jail. Similarly, he
said, the government is confident that CB-CID will solve the case
soon. The state government has already taken action against 11
policemen and arrested three named in FIR. The three doctors who
conducted the first post-mortem have also been suspended for giving a
false report, he added.
