NEW DELHI: An afternoon after the Union cabinet made up our minds to overturn the Supreme Court’s “dilution” of the Dalit atrocities regulation, the opposition accused the Centre of not bringing an ordinance for 4 months regardless of chronic demands, prompting the federal government to announce that it would convey an modification in the present session.
It is learnt that the federal government will try to get the bill passed in the ongoing monsoon session which has slightly a week more to head. But if the bill will get stuck because of some reason why, it'll convey an ordinance to restore the previous regulation, sources stated.
In Lok Sabha, Congress MPs raised the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, announcing the apex court order “diluting” stringent provisions of the regulation came on March 20. Mallikarjun Kharge known as the SC judgment — which prescribed a initial inquiry before lodging of an FIR, did awat with mandatory arrest and introduced the supply of anticipatory bail — dangerous for Dalits and tribals.
He stated 17 political events met the President on March 27 searching for an ordinance to overturn the SC order and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi also wrote to the top minister with the similar request, but no action was taken by way of the Centre.
In response, home minister Rajnath Singh chided the Congress and stated, “What is the relevance of raising the problem nowadays? Perhaps, the member knows that the Union cabinet has authorized modification to the SC/ST Act. The top minister had stated that the Act might be restored without the trade of a comma or a complete stop. We will convey the modification bill in this session itself.”
