Punia takes up
issue of demoted
SC employees

PIONEER NEWS SERVICE ■ LUCKNOW

A fter ‘forgetting’ to review the growing cases of


atrocities on Dalits in UP for the last four years,
Chairman of National Commission for Scheduled
Castes (NCSC), PL Punia, finally woke up to take
note of demotion of SC employees due to withdrawal
of quota in promotion.
“I took up the issue of quota in promotion in
government jobs with the Chief Minister as major-
ity of representatives and others had drawn my atten-
tion towards it,” Punia told media persons soon after
a meeting with the state government on Wednesday.
“Initially Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav agreed
to look into the issue by appointing a Group of
Ministers but when I pointed out that it might delay
the process, he gave an assurance to set up a tech-
nical committee to examine how the guidelines
made in Nagraj case could be followed on the issue,”
Punia added.
NCSC Chairman expressed concern to the Chief
Minister on demotion of officers promoted after
1997 when the cut off date should be 2006 onwards
when the decision was taken. The review meeting
on issues related to Dalit community has been con-
vened after four years.
Interestingly, Punia agreed with the government
that the percentage of atrocities on Dalits in terms
of percentage of population in UP was less than com-
He was also critical of non-
registration of complaints of
Dalits victims. He also urged
the government to take
interest in disposal of cases,
saying that at present 50,000
cases were pending in trial
courts and out of 3,276
decisions last year,
conviction could be made in
just 1,772 cases.
pared to other states.
Punia, however, expressed concern over the
increase in crime against Dalits compared to 2012.
In 2012, 6,727 cases of atrocities against Dalits
were registered in UP and this had shot up to 9112
cases in 2014.
He was also critical of non-registration of com-
plaints of Dalits victims. He also urged the gov-
ernment to take interest in disposal of cases, say-
ing that at present 50,000 cases were pending in trial
courts and out of 3,276 decisions last year, convic-
tion could be made in just 1,772 cases.
The NCSC Chairman also asked the govern-
ment to hold regular meetings of state and district
level vigilance and monitoring committees to
review matters related to excesses on Dalits and wel-
fare projects taken up by the government.
Hailing the efforts of state government for mak-
ing on-line provision to provide scholarships, fees
and other financial benefits to the members of Dalit
community, Punia said that it must be ensured that
Rs 14,633 crore, which was 21 per cent of the total
state budget, was spent on directly benefiting of the
SC community and not on providing general
infrastructure as it did not help in the uplift of the
community.
Replying to a question on killing of a Dalit youth
in Dewa police station in Barabanki, and later pro-
jecting it as a case of suicide, Punia said that he too
was not convinced with the police theory.
“I have asked the commission to look into it
threadbare. Once the finding comes, I will recom-
mend a probe by a proper agency, so that the guilty
are punished,” he said.
