NEW DELHI: The RJD took the opportunity provided by the police atrocity in Bhagalpur to make a case of absence of law and order in Bihar. In a similar fashion, the Samajwadi Party made a case for the inability of the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure law and order in light of the violence in Agra. These and other instances of violence against Dalits and the minority community featured during discussions in Parliament.
In the Rajya Sabha, RJD member Ramdeo Bhandary said it seemed that there was no law and order in Bihar, instead there exists only a “jungle raj”. He suggested that if chief minister Nitish Kumar couldn’t improve the law and order situation, then he should quit. The RJD MP claimed that in Bihar minorities and Dalits were not safe.
Providing a broader canvas, CPM MP Brinda Karat expressed concern over increasing atrocities on Dalits and demanded the Centre should intervene and ensure protection to Dalits. The killings in Gohana and tensions in Agra were also raised in the House.
