Title
‘Compensate kin of Singhu border victim’
Description
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Saturday asked Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi to provide a compensation of Rs. 50 lakh to the kin of the Dalit labourer who was found brutally murdered at the Singhu border. Ms. Mayawati also demanded that the family of the Dalit labourer, whose body was found at the site of the farmers protest on Friday, be provided a job. The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister referred to the Dalit background of the Punjab Chief Minister, and asked him to provide monetary compensation to the kin of the victim from the State just like he had announced a compensation for the victims in Lakhimpur Kheri, where three cars from the convoy of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Mishra mowed down protesting farmers on October 3. Ms. Mayawati, in a tweet, described the murder of the Dalit youth as “extremely sad and disgraceful”.
