15 Dalit outfits submit joint plea to SC panel
Description
New Delhi: As many as 15 Dalit outfits jointly submitted a memorandum to the National Commission for Scheduled Castes on Saturday demanding stringent action against those who brutally killed a Dalit youth at the farmers’ protest site at the Singhu border. The body of Lakhbir Singh from Punjab’s Tarn Taran, was found tied to an overturned police barricade at the site where farmers are protesting against the three new central farm laws for over 10 months. The Dalit outfits, including the Akhil Bharatiya Khatik Samaj, Akhil Bharatiya Berwa Vikas Sangh, Dhanak Welfare Association, and several other organisations of Dalit employees and professionals, submitted the memorandum to Commission chairman Vijay Sampla. They urged the panel to ensure that this gory incident be fairly investigated and stringent punishment for the culprits be ensured.
