Modi, Shah ignoring 'indecorous' remarks against Dalits: Mayawati

December 6, 2015

New Delhi, Dec 6: BSP supremo Mayawati today hit out at the NDA government accusing it of having an anti-Dalit mentality as "indecorous" remarks made against the community by those holding high offices are ignored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.bsp-chief

She also attacked "communal forces" for "demolishing the Babri Mosque" this day in 1992 which coincides with the death anniversary of B R Ambedkar.

"Like the previous Congress government, the present BJP government has done nothing concrete for the followers of Baba Saheb but has only made hollow statements," Mayawati said in a statement issued on the death anniversary of Ambedkar.

She said while on the one hand Parliament is discussing commitment towards the Constitution to mark the 125th birth anniversary of Ambedkar, Ministers, Governors and other leaders of the Narendra Modi government are insulting Dalits and backwards from the minority community.

"There is a marked difference in what the Modi government practices and preaches," she said in remarks which are seen as an attempt to consolidate the Dalit-Muslim vote ahead of Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh in 2017.

She said the present dispensation is the "first government at the Centre where the Ministers seem to be out of control and making irresponsible and indecorous remarks against ignored Dalits and Muslims."

She pointed out that the BSP is at the forefront in slamming Union Minister V K Singh in the Rajya Sabha for his alleged dog analogy.

"The latest remarks of Singh have crossed all limits of decency. It is sad that no head of any Constitutional body took notice his statement and initiated any action. We were forced to boycott him at least in the Rajya Sabha," she said.

BSP has no presence in the Lok Sabha. Alleging that the Modi government has a castiest, narrow and communal mindset, the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister claimed that "it is now difficult to the believe that the present government will do something different from the Congress regime to help the common man from burning issues facing the nation... it is a bitter truth that such a communal mindset was displayed when the Prime Minister made an anti-Muslim remark on 2002 Gujarat riots in an interview ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls."

She said after the Modi government came to power at the Centre, incidents of "atrocities" against Dalits, tribals and Muslims have gone up in BJP-ruled states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.

New Delhi, Jan 24: The Election Commission of India on Friday told the Supreme Court that its 2018 direction asking poll candidates to declare their criminal antecedents in electronic and print media has not helped curb criminalisation of politics. The poll panel suggested that instead of asking candidates to declare criminal antecedents in the media, political parties should be asked not to give tickets to candidates with criminal background.

A bench of Justices R F Nariman and S Ravindra Bhat asked the ECI to come up with a framework within one week which can help curb criminalisation of politics in nation's interest.

The top court asked the petitioner BJP leader and advocate Ashiwini Upadhyay and the poll panel to sit together and come up with suggestions which would help him in curbing criminalisation of politics.

In September 2018, a five-judge Constitution bench had unanimously held that all candidates will have to declare their criminal antecedents to the Election Commission before contesting polls and had called for a wider publicity, through print and electronic media about antecedents of candidates.

Kota, Jan 4: Following the death of an infant in the morning, the death toll in JK Lon Hospital here has risen to 107, officials said on Saturday.

A three-member state government committee of doctors, who was sent to investigate the matter on December 23 and 24, found that Kota's JK Lone Hospital is short of beds and it requires improvement.

However, the committee gave a clean chit to the doctors for any lapses over the recent death of infants admitted there.

A Central government team reached the hospital on Saturday to take stock of the situation.

As per the government report, at least 91 infants lost their lives at the government hospital in December last year.

Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to Chief Secretary of Rajasthan to submit a detailed report within 4 weeks about the steps being taken to address the issue.

The Commission also asked the Chief Secretary to ensure that such deaths of the children do not recur in future due to lack of infrastructure and health facilities at the hospitals.
