Rahul slams Modi, Shah on atrocities against Dalits


New Delhi, Aug 11 (IANS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday slammed BJP President Amit Shah on rising atrocities against the Dalits and said both he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should break their slumber to check the facts.

"Mr. 56's (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) best buddy (Amit Shah) asked me to 'check my facts' when I said the BJP fuels violence against the Dalits and Adivasis," said Gandhi on Twitter.

"I hope the fact check I'm attaching below will wake him and Mr 56 up from their deep slumber on these rising atrocities; or I and the Congress party will," he said and attached an India Today news story with a headline -- "Parties play blame game as crimes against SCs rise".

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday accused the Modi government of being anti-Dalit, to which Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Shah hit back, saying the Congress must stop treating Dalits with a "patronising and condescending" attitude.

    This quote is by Modi. This shows his respect for dalits.

    " “I do not believe Balimikis have been doing this job of scavenging and cleaning toilets just to sustain their livelihood. Had this been so, they would not have continued with this kind of job generation after generation.... At some point of time somebody must have got the enlightenment that it is their (Balmikis’) duty to work for the happiness of the entire society and the Gods; that they have to do this job bestowed upon them by Gods; and this job should continue as internal spiritual activity for centuries.”
