PATNA: State RJD president Ram Chandra Purbeyon Wednesday charged that Murlichak Musahar Toli incident at Patna has amply proved that chief minister Nitish Kumar, who calls himself the messiah of dalits and Mahadalit, was out to finish them ironically in the name of development.
Comparing Nitish with RJD chief Lalu Prasad, the state RJD chief said that while Lalu gave voice to the poor and downtrodden and did a lot for their welfare, Nitish has indulged in removing Dalits from their home.
Mushar Toli has hogged headlines for the last two days following pitched battle between the police and dalits who reside in Murlichak, off Bailey road as builders, who forcibly encroached upon their land, also fired shots allegedly in the presence of police personnel. The firing led to killing of a dalit woman, Buti Devi, and injury to five others on Tuesday.
A team of RJD leaders, including former MLA Ramanuj Prasad, Udai Kumar Manjhi, Patna district RJD president Devmuni Singh, led by Purbey visited the trouble-torn area and talked to the victim families. Purvey, later said, that about 50 Mahadalit families are residing there for the past 100 years and they bury the body of dead persons in the nearby field.
Trouble brewed
when builders started encroaching the graveyard land for constructing multi-storeyed buildings. This infuriated the local dalits who vehemently opposed this and as a result the builder fired at them in the presence of the police personnel, Purbey mentioned.
