Kejriwal targets Modi again; says Dalit attacks taking place with active support from top BJP leadership

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has once again targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over attacks on Dalits in the country, blaming top BJP leadership.

On Twitter, Kejriwal wrote, "PM Modi's continued silence on dalit attacks proves that these attacks are taking place with active support from top BJP leadership."

The AAP conveners' remark comes a day after he visited the victims in Rajkot civil hospital first and then went to Mota Samadhiyala village in Una to meet their family members.

Earlier, alleging Gujarat government's collusion in the Dalit thrashing incident, Kejriwal dubbed it 'anti-Dalit' and accused the ruling BJP of 'trampling' upon the oppressed.

Seven persons of Dalit community were brutally thrashed by cow vigilantes for skinning a dead cow on July 11, triggering nationwide condemnation.

The AAP chief also alleged that the Gujarat government first allows crimes be carried out on Dalits and then slaps false cases on people who come out in protest on streets. He also alleged that the Dalit victims were beaten up at the behest of the administration.
