PM Modi in a recent statement to PTI told that the government is committed to giving basic amenities to Dalits and other weaker sections. This statement comes at a time when two ‘Dalit’ girls were raped in the state of UP by people from other communities.

Two girls in different incidents in UP’s Hathras and Balrampur area, them being 19-years-old and 22-years-old respectively, were raped by people from different communities. These incidents have led to protests happening throughout India about Dalits being unsafe in India and the prevalence of deep-rooted caste-system in the present-day Indian society.

In recent developments in the Hathras rape case, Indian politicians like Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rahul Gandhi and Derek O’ Brian were prevented from meeting the victim’s family and section 144 was imposed in the area to prevent media-personnel from entering the place. UP Police was also caught instigating the family to change their statement.

These incidents raise questions at the basic human rights that are provided to people which in this context were being denied to the victim’s family because of their ‘Dalit’ status.

Such a statement from PM Modi in this situation reflects the accountability of government for such happenings and the nation awaits to see these promises being fulfilled.

Our govt is committed to giving basic amenities to Dalits and other weaker sections: PM Modi

Hathras Gangrape Case: 19-year-old victim dies in Delhi hospital

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal termed the death of Hathras gang-rape victim a matter of shame for the country. He also added that it is a shame for the government and demanded the accused to be hanged.

A senior police officer said, “The 19-year-old Dalit girl died at a Delhi hospital this morning, days after being raped by four men in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras district.” After she showed no signs of improvement, she was shifted to Delhi from Aligarh.

“The death of Hathras victim is shameful for the entire society, country as well as for all the governments. It’s extremely sad that so many daughters are being sexually assaulted and we have not been able to protect them. The guilty must be hanged at the earliest,” Arvind Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.

The girl was gang-raped on September 14 after which she was admitted to Aligarh Muslim University’s Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital. Four men who were accused are Sandip, Ramu, Lavkush, and Ravi — have been arrested for gang rape. The accused also tried to strangle her to death when she resisted their attempt to rape her. The girl was dragged by dupatta around her neck to a field where she was allegedly raped. She was picking up fodder when the suspects attacked her. Her spinal cord was damaged and her tongue, which apparently got caught between her teeth, was cut.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has reminded Yogi Adityanath of his responsibility by saying, “Chief Minister is responsible for the safety of women in the state. The killers should get the severest possible punishment.”

Harpal Singh, head of the Agra division of Azad Samaj Party, said, “We demand proper compensation and that the case should be heard in a fast track court so that the monsters could be sent to the gallows as soon as possible.”

The victim’s brother told the Times of India that they got the information about her death at 6 AM. “We want justice for her. The accused should not be spared. They must be hanged,” A compensation of Rs 4.12 lakh has been given to the kin of the victim and the remaining amount will be given after charges are proved.
