New Delhi: Atrocities against women and crimes against the Dalit community continue unabated in Rajasthan but Ashok Gehlot government remains nonchalant & unmoved by their sufferings & despair. This became clearly apparent when Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was questioned about brutal killing of a Dalit woman and he looked clueless about the incident.
When the reporter asked him about his reaction and what the state government has done to nab the attackers, the Chief Minister was seen looking for answers. He could be seen on the camera, enquiring about the incident from fellow colleagues at the press conference. The Congress leader, sitting next to CM, could be seen briefing the latter on brutal killing of woman as well as Jalore incident, where a young Dalit boy lost his life after being beaten by an upper caste teacher. The Dalit boy was beaten to death for touching teacher’s drinking water pot in a private school in Jalore district.
The horrific incident of woman burnt alive and later her dying declaration led to strong uproar on social media, with netizens demanding stern action against the culprits. However, the Chief Minister remaining oblivious of the tragic incident raises many questions.
