SDPI NEWS
NETWORK: New Delhi The Social Democratic Party of
India, (SDPI) has strongly demanded that the state government of Uttar Pradesh
must constitute a judicial commission to find out the reasons and factors for
dilatory investigation and identify the officials who were responsible for the
omission in investigation and prosecution in Hashimpura massacre case. It has
also appealed the state government to file appeal in the High Court in the
Hashimpura case wherein all the accused have been scot free.
The SDPI in its
National Working Committee, (NWC) meeting held in Bangalore on April 21 2015
passed the above resolution along with some other resolutions.
The resolution
said: “SDPI feels that Hashimpura case has exposed the deep malaise in the
Indian polity. The security forces in cold blooded manner under the influence
of communalism murdered 42 Muslims. The investigations were prolonged with mala
fide intent and the culprits were protected by the state. The prosecution did
not adduce the evidence and all the wrongdoers were let off the hook. The SDPI
strongly demands that the state government of Uttar Pradesh must file appeal in
High Court securing the special counsel for the prosecution in consultation
with the representatives of victims. Further the state government must
constitute a judicial commission to find out the reasons and factors for
dilatory investigation and identify the officials who were responsible for the
omission in investigation and prosecution in Hashimpura case. SDPI further demands
that the state government must make immediate arrangements for Rs.20 lakh fresh
compensation for each dead and Rs.10 lakh for all other victims.”
The other
resolutions that were passed on the occasion are as under:
1. SDPI is
saddened for the losses caused by unseasonal rains and hails causing heavy
damages to the crops of farmers of several states. The state governments have
failed to rise to the occasion as proper compensation has not been paid to
farmers who are in such a desperate state to commit suicide. SDPI demands swift
action from the state governments.
2. SDPI strongly
condemns the irresponsible and provocative statement on behalf of Shiv Sena and
BJP leaders who ask for the scrapping of voting rights of Muslims. SDPI demands
that sedition case must be registered by the government against such persons
who are creating such types of mischief.
3. SDPI takes
strong note on the continuing attacks on churches in various part of the
country. It seems that the mischief-mongers want to create a cleavage between
the Hindu and Christians who enjoy amicable relations. The elements creating
the social trouble must be brought to book in a deterrent manner so that the
attacks may be stopped. It also seems that persons in power are hand-in-glove
as the scale and frequency of attack has increased with the formation of new
government headed by BJP and controlled by the saffron brigade in the country.
4. The SDPI is
very cautious to the custodial killings and encounters by security forces,
particularly of Dalits and Muslims. The Warangal police had killed five Muslims
under their custody but the civil society as well as the nation has failed to
properly deal with the issue. SDPI warns that if the injustice is tolerated to
reach an extent on communal lines, then the entire rule of law would go to the
winds. The culprits must be booked without delay.
5. SDPI feels
sorry for the ongoing violence and war thrust upon Yemen initiated by Iran
which has inspired and powered sectarian expansion in the Arab World to get
over control of Yemen and Saudi Arabia’s tit for tat policy. SDPI appeals to
the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), as well as Arab League to
immediately intervene and restore peace and also restrain the ‘Houthis’ from
forcible occupation of institutions power in Yemen.
