‘Dismiss Narendra Modi over Dalit atrocities’ Agencies Posted online: Friday , Apr 16, 2010 at 1618 hrs Ahmedabad : Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) today demanded dismissal of the Narendra Modi Government for failing to protect Dalits in Gujarat, where some Scheduled Caste members were "thrown out of their own village". "When we got the reports that 145 Dalit families were treated as outcast and thrown out of their own village in Gujarat, we could not believe that such kind of incident was possible in Mahatma Gandhi's land," LJP President Ram Vilas Paswan said while talking to mediapersons here. "But when we went to Vanthal village in Viramgam taluka of Ahmedabad, we were surprised. There were locks on all Dalit homes," he said. "We will be to meeting the President on this issue and also request the Union Government to interfere in the matter." "The Modi Government had been anti-minority, and now it has also started opposing the Dalits," the former Union Minister alleged. Looking at the non-response of the BJP Government towards discrimination against Dalits in the state, the Centre should take appropriate action and dismiss it, Paswan said. The prominent Dalit leader said he met Gujarat Governor Kamla, who was also surprised to hear about the incident. ------------------------------------ ---- INFORMATION OVERLOAD?
