“When we fail to protect the rights of our community…we have no right to continue in office. After listening to my conscience, I resign from the post of MLA, so that I can serve the society without any post. PTI,
“I am hurt to see the atrocities. The way my community is being oppressed, I cannot express my pain in words. Dalits are being killed for drinking water from a pitcher, keeping a moustache or riding a horse during marriage. The judicial process comes to a standstill and case files move from table to table. Cases of atrocities against Dalits have increased rapidly in the last few years. It seems that there is no one to protect the rights of Dalits given by the Constitution,” he said.
“In most of the cases registered by Dalits, the police submit the final report. I have raised such matters many times in the state assembly but no action was taken by the police.
A nine-year-old Dalit boy died on Saturday after he was allegedly thrashed by a teacher for touching a pot of drinking water at a private school in Rajasthan’s Jalore district.

Teacher Chail Singh, 40, has been arrested and charged with murder and under sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Internet has also been suspended in the area to prevent the situation from deteriorating.
Former Deputy Chief Minister and Tonk Congress MLA Sachin Pilot said that he will meet Indra’s family tomorrow.
Indra Kumar, a student, died after he was brutally thrashed by a teacher in Surana village of Jalore district. I meet Indra’s family on August 16 to express my condolences.”
Jalore Superintendent of Police Harshvardhan Agrawal said the boy was badly beaten up and said the reasons cited for it – touching a pot of drinking water – have not been investigated yet. “We have registered a case against teacher Chail Singh under section 302 of IPC and SC/ST Act and arrested him,” the police officer said.
