The union Cabinet is seized with the amendment of SC/ST Act The proposal would bring in certain criminalities under the present framework of Act. At present, these are covered under the IPC. These are : cutting of moustache, throwing of waste in front of SC ST households, disrobing a person, parading them naked, refusal to use land and water, destruction of crop and denial of forest rights besides focussing on crime against women like voyeurism, throwing of acid, stalking etc.Fair Enough.But, do persons from the depressed classes alone suffer such indignities? People from other categories are co-sufferers. All should be treated at par.Then, why such populist measures for SC/ST alone? Vote bank politics. A K Saxena
