LUCKNOW: BSP President Mayawati on Wednesday said the Supreme Court's decision on the SC/ST Act have brought to the fore "bitter life realities" and struggles of Dalit society and also exposed the "Dalit love" of the ruling BJP and Congress.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday recalled its direction in the March 20, 2018 verdict which had virtually diluted provisions of arrest under the SC/ST Act.
In a tweet, Mayawati said, "The Supreme Court, while restoring the provisions of the SC/ST Act 1989 in its judgement yesterday, has verified facts regarding the bitter life realities and struggles of Dalit society, they specially expose the Dalit love of the ruling BJP and Congress. It is necessary that the country and society remain aware."
मा सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने एससी/एसटी कानून 1989 के प्रावधानों को पुनः बहाल करते हुए कल अपने फैसले में दलित समाज की कड़वी जीवन वास्तविकताओं व संघर्षों के सम्बंध में जो तथ्य सत्यापित किए हैं वे खासकर सत्ताधरी बीजेपी व कांग्रेस के ’दलित प्रेम’ की पोल खोलते हैं। देश व समाज की जागरुकता जरूरी
In another tweet, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister spoke about Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand faring badly on the NITI Ayog's ranking in terms of school education. "Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are ranked lowest in the country in terms of school education ranking of the NITI Ayog. Will the parties which have ruled the country and the state for the longest time, especially Congress and BJP be able to give an answer to the public on Gandhi Jayanti today as to why there is such a shameful crisis," she said.
