Don't shed crocodile tears but act: Cong to PM on dalits


New Delhi, Aug 8 (PTI): A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed those indulging in atrocities on dalits, Congress today created uproar in the Lok Sabha, saying he should "not shed crocodile tears" but "act".

Congress members demanded that the Prime Minister should speak on the issue in the House rather than "tweet". They staged a walkout later.

Soon after the Zero Hour, Congress members stormed the Well of the House when Speaker Sumitra Mahajan did not immediately allow party leader Mallikarjun Karge to raise the issue.

The Speaker said she would allow Kharge to speak but only after she finishes with the Zero Hour list as she has not got any notice. She repeatdely appealed to the Congress members to go back to their seats.

"I will allow him to speak. I have never said no to it, but let me be done with the (Zero Hour) list. There are many smaller parties here and it will be an injustice to the members," she said.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh as also the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ananth Kumar were seen gestering to Kharge suggesting that a way could be found out through informal talks.

Congress members were unrelenting and demanded that the Prime Minister come to the House and speak on the issue.

"He (the PM) should not shed crocodile tears. He should not tweet, but act (against those perpetrating atrocities on dalits)," the Congress MPs chanted.

Congress members were in no mood to relent and staged a walkout. In an outreach to Dalits against the backdrop of the Una flogging incident, Modi, at an event in Telangana, yesterday decried the attempts to politicise the issue of atrocities on dalits and said he is ready to get "shot and attacked" in place of his Dalit "brothers".

    People have become Wise and can see through the real motive of the delayed reaction from the Prime Minister. It will be very difficult for Narender Modi to restore the Trust of the people after all his hollow promises and with the result that no one takes his statements seriously.

    FEKU is artificially shedding tears because he is convinced he is loosing his grounds in his own home GUJARAT. He knows if he lose Gujarat, that's the end of his political fame.

    There is no doubt that whatever PM said only a drama and crocodile tears. Why he is not willing to say the same thing in Parliament. Instead of hiding behind tweeter he should come open and say in the Parliament that culprits should be arrested.

    Now they will arrest one or two their own chamchas and will pretend like taking action against Gowrakshak to fool public. This is their trick to do damage control.

    Many other news medias around the world would be exposing the world roaming PMs tightlipped delinquency mystery, not addressing the urgent national issues.

    The editorial at the New York Times with the pictures of the half naked Dalits youths folding the hands and chained, and being watched by a big crowd is read by the politicians and public in the U.S. Other News papers and T.V. channels will be exposing this modern savagery in the largest democratic country of the world.

    The U.S. State Department has expressed their concern with these issues to the Indian Government.

    The Chairman of the Foreign Relation Committee Sen. Bob Corker, we have studied in the same city is greatly concerned with these issues also the anti-conversion laws enacted in the six States of India which is a direct violation of the U.N. Charter signed by India.

    ..MODI knows Congress drama..Congress should ask themselves about their fake Dalit/minority love..Do they want PM to do police work also!!..after Gujrat incident, there was a gang rape in UP no congress leader visited victim..just few days back a minor girl from Dalit community was raped & killed UP..Not a single Congress leader voiced concern..same in case of Kerala brutal rape & murder..No national media deabted these incidents..Congress only wakes up if it happens in CJP ruled states or any chance of blaming RSS..

    Ramesh, Rakesh please note BJP days are over for sure. I am not saying Congress is the alternate. According to me, there is not a single eligible party to rule.
    ALL ARE SAME, OPPORTUNIST.

    Dalit's have no security so can be shot at any time day or night. Chaaiwaala Prime Minister knows well he has Z Plus security that is the reason he says shoot me. In fact he say to the photographer to shoot his picture to the media along with the dalits.

    CONGRESS SAID IT CLEARLY CROCODILE TEARS FROM PUPPY LOVE.
