Pandemonium in Gujarat assembly over Patan self immolation case
February 26, 2018
Gandhinagar:
The Gujarat Assembly today saw uproarious scene and an adjournment of house proceedings on the issue of Patan collector office Dalit self immolation case.
Congress MLA from Patan Kirit Patel had raised this issue in the house and the deputy leader of Congress legislature party Shailesh Parmar had also attacked the government.
When Congress supported independent MLA Jignesh Mewani stood up and started alleging the Vijay Rupani government of being anti-Dalit and that the 50 lakh Dalits did not have faith in it, the mike was shut on the instructions of speaker Rajendra Trivedi.
After that Congress MLAs stood up and started slogan shouting. The speaker adjourned the proceedings till recess.
Later talking to newsmen Mewani said that even after passage of almost 10 days since the death of Bhanu Vankar after his attempted self immolation, not even a single penny out of the compensation announced by the government has been paid. No action has also been taken against any of the culprits so far. He said that only announcing the constitution of SIT for probe was not enough as such announcements had not yielded any result in case of Una and Thangadh incidents.
LoP Paresh Dhanani said that the government would have to reply the questions pertaining to the issue.
Meanwhile BJP president cum MLA Jeetu Vaghani alleged Congress and Mewani of trying to politicizing the issue for political gains.
