Congress Attacks BJP Over Alleged Atrocities on Dalits in Gujarat
The Congress party is upset with the BJP government, especially in Gujarat.
They say that the BJP isn't doing enough to protect Dalits and other vulnerable people, and that the government is allowing bad things to happen to them.
They're pointing to several examples of violence and unfair treatment.
The Congress claims that the conviction rate in Gujarat is very low, meaning that most people who hurt Dalits and others are not punished.
They also said the BJP-RSS do not believe in the Constitution but in different values.
Congress is planning a protest to bring attention to these issues and demand justice for the victims.
Congress criticized the BJP governments at the Centre and in Gujarat over alleged atrocities against Dalits and weaker sections.
Jignesh Mevani cited multiple instances of violence and injustice, including the death of a 19-year-old in Amreli and an elderly Dalit man burnt alive in Patan.
Mevani alleged that the BJP-RSS do not believe in the Constitution, but in ‘Manusmriti’.
Mevani highlighted a low conviction rate in Gujarat for atrocities against Dalits.
The Congress plans a demonstration in August-September against the atrocities in Gujarat.
