New Delhi, July 5(Press Ki Taqaut)<\/p>\n
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that atrocities on tribals and Dalits are increasing under the BJP rule, as he decried an incident in Madhya Pradesh where a man, alleged to be a BJP leader, was seen urinating on a tribal.<\/p>\n
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also slammed the BJP over the incident and said that \u201cthe inhuman and disgusting act done by a person close to a BJP MLA to a tribal youth in Madhya Pradesh is extremely shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the 18 years of BJP rule in the state, 30,400 cases of atrocities on tribals have come to the fore, she claimed.<\/p>\n
In the BJP rule, there are only empty claims and empty words about tribal interests. Why doesn\u2019t the government take real steps to stop atrocities on tribals?\u201d Priyanka Gandhi said.<\/p>\n
A video of a man, purported to be a local BJP leader from Madhya Pradesh, showing him urinating on a tribal person in the state\u2019s Sidhi district recently went viral on social media leading to demands for his arrest from several quarters.<\/p>\n
He was rounded up on Wednesday after Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan called for the immediate arrest of the man, who has since been identified as Pravesh Shukla.<\/p>\n
\u201cAtrocities on tribal brothers and sisters are increasing in the BJP rule. The entire humanity has been put to shame by the inhuman crime of a BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh,\u201d Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the disgusting face and real character of BJP\u2019s hatred towards tribals and Dalits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
MP Home Minister Narottam Mishra said the man\u2019s act was \u201cheinous, condemnable and a blot on humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about Congress\u2019 demand for a \u201cbulldozer action\u201d against the accused, Mishra, who is also the state government\u2019s spokesperson, told PTI, \u201cBulldozer action is not taken at Congress\u2019 demand…bulldozer is used only when there is an encroachment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, Mishra told reporters that the accused had been arrested, as he spoke of a \u201cbulldozer\u201d action without taking any names.<\/p>\n
The term became popular after the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government razed several properties owned by alleged criminals with bulldozers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
