JAMMU, July 22: Former MLA from Billawar and senior Congress leader Dr Manohar Lal Sharma has alleged that BJP was trying to suppress the voice of `Dalits’ and down trodden members of the society.
While condemning the BJP over the recent issue of mercilessly beating of `Dalits’ in Gujarat which widely spread the hatred against the anti- Dalit mentality of the BJP, the Congress leader alleged that BJP stood exposed for its dual face.
Dr Sharma referred to the BJP leader Dayashanker’s comments against BSP supremo Kumari Mayawati and alleged that it speaks of the mindset of the BJP leaders and hate against the SC community. Such people deserve punishment as per law of the land, he said.
The Cong leader recalled the incident of the charred to death of the two Dalit children in the BJP ruled State of Haryana. It is unfortunate that all the culprits are released on bail and are moving freely without any fear of rule and law, Dr Sharma added.
The Ex-MLA further said that the BJP and its complete leadership including the workers of the party are behaving like dictators and speaking arrogantly in public and even in the media during discussions and debates. This is spreading fear among the Dalits and suppressing the common masses on the name of religion and caste. Their attitude and arrogance has been witnessed after attaining power. He condemned the attitude and said that this shows the real face of BJP and its hidden agenda towards the Dalits and downtrodden.
