5 ઓકટોબર, 2011એ DNA અંગ્રેજી દૈનિકની અમદાવાદ આવૃત્તિમાં છપાયેલ સમાચાર પ્રમાણે, નેશનલ હ્યુમન
રાઇટ્સ કમિશન (એનએચઆરસી)એ 28 જેટલા ગંભીર અપરાધોના સંદર્ભમાં ચાર સપ્તાહમાં વરિષ્ઠ
પોલીસ અધિકારીઓને ખુલાસો કરવા જણાવ્યું હતું. જોકે, ડીએનએના સંવાદદાતાએ એનએચઆરસીના
આ કહેવાતા આદેશ અંગે કમિશનના કોઇ જવાબદાર વ્યક્તિનો સંપર્ક સાધ્યો નહોતો, પરંતુ એક
એનજીઓએ આપેલી માહિતીના આધારે આવું લખ્યું હતું.
મુદ્દો એ છે કે એક વર્ષ પછી એનએચઆરસી અમદાવાદ આવે છે ત્યારે
ફરી પાછું દલિતોને ન્યાય અપાવવાનું નાટક ચાલે છે. દલિતો માટે સરકાર, કમિશન,
આ બધા કામ કરી રહ્યા હોવાનો કેવો દેખાડો ચાલે છે, એનો આ સુંદર નમૂનો છે.
પ્રસ્તુત છે 5 ઓક્ટોબર, 2011નો અખબારી અહેવાલ:
Labhu Rajapara,
42, a Dalit in Golasan village in Surendranagar district of Gujarat, had no
idea that his son's love affair with an upper caste girl could wreak havoc on
his entire family. Six people allegedly burnt his house in December 2010 and
the family still has no place to live in.
On April 13 this year, Rajesh Parmar, 18, a
Dalit boy originally from Bhavnagar, was reportedly abducted and found dead the
next day on the railway tracks at Lathidad railway station. Barwala police
(Ahmedabad district) sub-inspector is said to have spoken to the abductor, but
nothing was done to save Rajesh. A case of accidental death was lodged later.
These are just two examples of atrocity and
violation of human rights against Dalits from a list of 28 serious offences in
which the police reportedly did not act. Considering the gravity of these
cases, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has asked senior police
officers and state government officials to clarify their stand on the issue in
four weeks.
The cases had been submitted to the NHRC by
Navsarjan, a city-based NGO working for the betterment of Dalits. The
commission chose 28 cases of serious crimes committed against Dalits. These
cases include offences like murder, rape and kidnapping.
"We had sent these complaints to the
commission in view of the gross human rights violation against Dalits. People
from the community have to suffer a lot because of the atrocities; besides,
criminal offences are also committed against them.
In the case of Labhu Rajapara, his son's love
destroyed his whole family. The police were reluctant to lodge a complaint
despite the fact that the whole house was burnt down," said Kantilal
Parmar, state coordinator, Navsarjan.
These notices have been issued to the
director-general of police (DGP), superintendents of police of Kutch,
Surendranagar and Mehsana, and the state chief secretary.
When contacted, in-charge DGP Chittaranjan
Singh said he was not aware of the development and passed the buck to
additional director-general of police (ADGP) Deepak Swaroop. But Swaroop said
he did not hold the charge anymore.
