Expressing total solidarity with Dalit people fighting against the dilution of provisions of SC/ST
(Prevention of Atrocities) Act, Sri Provash Ghosh, General Secretary, SUCI (Communist) strongly
condemned the killing of at least 9 Dalit people and causing grave injury to hundreds of protesting
Dalit people. Sri Ghosh also demanded immediate constitution of an high powered enquiry
commission to find out who are responsible for these ghastly killing and perpetrating severe atrocities
upon them, adequate compensation to the families of the dead and those who had been injured. Sri
Provash Ghosh also strongly criticized BJP Government’s attitude not reflecting strong opposition to
attempt to dilute the provisions of the SC/ST Acts. He therefore demanded immediate restoration
status quo ante.
