Lucknow News: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) National President and former Chief Minister Mayawati has once again raised questions on the state government regarding the atrocities on Dalits in Uttar Pradesh. On Saturday, she issued a statement in two parts on social media and termed the incidents of atrocities on Dalit community in various districts of the state, attacks on marriage processions and insult to the statues of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Lord Buddha as ‘extremely worrying’.
Mayawati wrote that these incidents are going to break the society and the government should take strict action against the culprits. She also demanded that the state government take concrete and effective steps to control crime, so that the weaker sections of the society can get assurance of security. In her second tweet, the BSP chief said that when there is tension on the borders of the country and internal security is being challenged by terrorist incidents, at such a time the state government should take strict action against the elements spreading casteist and communal tension within the society. She said that people with anti-social and criminal tendencies are trying to spread hatred and violence in the society, which needs to be stopped.
It is worth noting that in recent times, incidents of attack on people of Dalit community, vandalism of their religious symbols and statues have come to light from many districts of Uttar Pradesh. Somewhere the processions of Dalit grooms were stopped, somewhere the statues of Baba Saheb Ambedkar were broken. There is anger in the Bahujan Samaj regarding these incidents and political parties are constantly demanding action from the government.
Mayawati has surrounded the Yogi government on many occasions regarding such incidents and alleged that attacks on Dalits, backward and minorities have increased under BJP rule. Now it has to be seen what action the state government takes on this issue after this statement of Mayawati. At present, this statement of hers is very much discussed on social media and people associated with Bahujan Samaj are seeing it as a voice of their rights.
