Presidential candidate Bhairon Singh Shekhawat accused anti women and anti dalit ?? [image: Bhairon Singh Shekhawat] <http://persecution.in/node/2050> Women groups in Rajasthan say charges against Shekhawat more serious -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'He is anti-women, anti-Dalit and anti-minorities' 'Had protected those who glorified Deorala sati' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAIPUR: Several women's groups and activist organisations here have termed Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, the National Democratic Alliance-supported independent Presidential candidate, "anti-women, anti-Dalit, anti-minorities" and one who sided with the British empire during the freedom struggle and perpetrated human rights violations as Chief Minister of Rajasthan. Allegations of misuse of public office against him were far more serious and complex compared to those levelled by his party men against his rival, the United Progressive Alliance-Left supported candidate, Pratibha Patil, they said. In a joint statement, more than a dozen and a half organisations and individuals, led by People's Union for Civil Liberties, Rajasthan, Samagra Seva Sangh, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Academy for Socio Legal Studies and National Muslim Women's Welfare Society, said they could not forget the negative impact his three regimes in Rajasthan over the years had on the lives of the poor, oppressed, minorities and women in the State. The signatories to the statement include former chairperson of the Rajasthan Women's Commission, Pawan Surana, former Member of Parliament Than Singh, human rights lawyer Prem Krishna Sharma, Ladkumari Jain, former president of Rajasthan University Women's Association, Sarvodaya leader Sawai Singh, educationist Engineer Mohammed Saleem and Ved Vyas, writer. Mr. Shekhawat had organised the maximum number of bricks for "shilanyas" between 1990 and 1992 as Chief Minister, they charged, adding that the communal strife witnessed by the State during this period claimed more than 19 lives in Kota region alone. During his tenure as Chief Minister between 1993 and 1998, he facilitated "rath yatras" which led to violence resulting in 56 deaths here in the capital, they alleged. And in recent times, Mr. Shekhawat even spoke of creating a "Gujarat in Rajasthan", they added. It was only "natural" for Mr. Shekhawat to oppose a woman in the Presidential election. __._,_.___ Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/message/1129;_ylc=X3oDMTM1ZjUxZjF0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRtc2dJZAMxMTI5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTE4NDc0NDc2NQR0cGNJZAMxMTI5> (1) Reply (via web post) <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxYmtjdWxtBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRtc2dJZAMxMTI5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTE4NDc0NDc2NQ--?act=reply&messageNum=1129>| Start a new topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMm1zdXNtBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzExODQ3NDQ3NjU-> Messages<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbG0wY2lpBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNtc2dzBHN0aW1lAzExODQ3NDQ3NjU->| Files<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJnM2N1NnRoBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNmaWxlcwRzdGltZQMxMTg0NzQ0NzY1>| Photos<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJmcWExNXBqBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNwaG90BHN0aW1lAzExODQ3NDQ3NjU->| Links<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJnbG82aHFkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNsaW5rcwRzdGltZQMxMTg0NzQ0NzY1>| Polls<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJnZ21lYTAyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNwb2xscwRzdGltZQMxMTg0NzQ0NzY1>| Members<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJmajhpOXQ4BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNtYnJzBHN0aW1lAzExODQ3NDQ3NjU->| Calendar<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDSF-India/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJlMW9kaG5hBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2ODM2NTIwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2Mzk4NQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNjYWwEc3RpbWUDMTE4NDc0NDc2NQ--> [image: Yahoo!
