Mansa, July 24
The Mazdoor Mukti Morcha today submitted a complaint to the Mansa SSP demanding registration of a case under the SC/ST Act against a former Congress MLA for allegedly making casteist remarks against the Dalit community.
An audio clip had recently gone viral on social media wherein the Congress leader is purportedly heard using “derogatory” language against the community.
Probe under way
The matter is under investigation and further action will be taken once we get concrete evidence.
Morcha president Bhagwant Samao claimed: “In the clip, former MLA Ajitinder Singh Mofar made casteist remarks against the Dalits. In a phone conversation, a sarpanch had asked the Congress leader to resolve the matter related to MGNREGA workers, pointing out support they had been getting from the morcha members regarding work allocation. Mofar can then be heard using foul language.”
“We have given a complaint to the SSP seeking an investigation and punitive action against the leader. On the one hand, political parties are promising a Deputy CM from the community, on the other, their leaders are disrespecting them,” said Samao. Mofar could not be contacted for comment. — TNS
