Hubballi, Oct 24 (DHNS): An FIR has been registered here against Union Minister of State for External Affairs, V K Singh, for his remarks on the murder of Dalit children in Haryana.
Nagaraj Gouri, president of Indian Youth Congress (IYC) Dharwad Lok Sabha Committee, filed the complaint at the suburban police station here on Friday, based on which an FIR was registered under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
Earlier, IYC activists staged a protest in front of the police station, condemning Singh’s statement. They called his statement “derogatory and irresponsible”. Responding to a question on the murder of Dalit children in Haryana, Singh had said that the Union government should not be held responsible if people throw stones at a dog. The remarks were considered offensive to Dalits.
