STOP POLICE REPRISALS AGAINST

 DALITS

We strongly condemn the attrotious acts of Police repression and brutal firing upon agitating Dalits in the states of Madyapradesh, Rajasthan, UP, Bihar, jharkhand and Gujarat which resulted the killing of 8 people and massive lati-charge and arrests that have targeted thousands.

The conscious and determined offensive against the Dalits from the part of the police is evident as in Rajasthan, the police action went along with the notorious Karni Sena's attack upon the protesting Dalits who were agitating as part of the Bharat Bandh called for by Dalit organisation against the dilution of the SCs/STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act due to Supreme Court ruling as part of a recent judgement.

The true colour of the BJP led governments of these states has come out as the Army is deployed in Bhind in MP, paramilitary is widely deployed in MP and UP, curfew is clamped and internet is suspended.

We demand the immediate release of the detained, thorough and transparent inquiry by parliament committee, and active steps of redressal of losses of the families of the matyrs.

We reiterate our demand to the Modi Government to pursue the review petition with sincerity to the final and to undertake legislative remedy if necessary to nullify the dilution of the SCs/STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
We call upon the secular and democratic forces to actively rally to defend the struggling Dalits and to fight the let-loose police Raj .
