By PTI

LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday demanded President’s Rule in Rajasthan following the dying of a Dalit boy, who was allegedly overwhelmed up by his trainer for touching a water pot.

Nine-year-old Indra Kumar Meghwal, who was finding out at a personal faculty in Surana village of Jalore district, was allegedly overwhelmed up on July 20 and he succumbed to his accidents at a hospital in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad on Saturday.

The accused trainer Chail Singh (40) has been arrested. He has been booked for homicide and in addition below The Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

In a tweet in Hindi, Mayawati mentioned, “A nine-year-old Dalit student of a private school at Surana in Rajasthan’s Jalore district was brutally thrashed by a teacher belonging to upper caste after he drank water from a pot. Yesterday, he died during treatment. No amount of condemnation of this painful incident is less.”

Slamming the Ashok Gehlot authorities, she mentioned, “Such painful casteist incidents happen almost every day in Rajasthan. This incident is a clear example to show that the Congress government has failed in protecting the life and dignity of people, especially the Dalits, tribals and the neglected. Therefore, it would be better if this (current) government (of Rajasthan) is dismissed and President’s Rule imposed.”
