The burning issue of growing attacks on dalits and minorities across the country found echo in the Lok Sabha again on Monday with the Opposition members expressing concern over the issue. They sought stern action against cow vigilante groups which have been targeting them.
Raising the issue during the Zero Hour, Trinamul Congress leader Sudip Bandopadhyay underlined the need for action against those targeting dalits and Muslims to uphold secularism and communal harmony. P.K. Biju of the CPI(M) urged upon the Parliament to take a stern view of the attacks on the dalit community.
Raising another issue, Congress MP Rajeev Satav said that the Maharashtra ATS chief’s statement that 100 young men from the Marathwada region were in touch with ISIS was alarming.
He said this was all the more so as two youths from Parbhani, who had plans to set off explosions at Aurangabad and Nagpur, were arrested recently.
