BJP MPs raise ‘Chaibasa massacre’ in Parliament

Thursday, 06 February 2020 | PNS | Ranchi

BJP parliamentarians from State on Wednesday staged a dharna near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Parliament House protesting against the killings of seven tribals by ‘Pro Pathalgadi’ supporters at Burugulikera village of Chaibasa last month. The MPs, which included members from both the houses, staged a protest with posters in their hands saying, ‘Killers of tribals--Rahul and Hemant Government’.

The MPs on dharna claimed that due to State Government’s soft approach towards Pro Pathalgadi supporters such type of incidents have escalated in State. The MPs blamed the Soren government for dropping sedition cases against Pro Pathalgadi supporters. It may be noted that Hemant Soren in its first Cabinet decision decided to lift sedition cases against tribals involved in Pathalgadi and CNT/SPT violence.

Days after State Government’s Cabinet decision seven tribal people were beheaded allegedly by Pathalgarhi supporters on January 19.

The BJP MPs not only staged a peaceful dharna against State government’s failure to check such type of incidents, but the BJP MP from Godda Nishikant Dubey also raised the issue in the House. Raising the issue in Lok Sabha, Dubey said, “Incidents such as Pathalgadi the supporters of whom are against the Constitution and Democracy have escalated in State ever since JMM Congress Government came to power. The Pro Pathalgadi supporters are involved in all type of illegal activities such as

opium cultivation and other illegal activities are neither following the Constitution nor the law of State.”

Dubey blamed the Soren government for being mute spectator on the alleged illegal activities of Pro Pathalgadi supporters. The Godda MP said, “Seven innocent tribals were killed by Pathalgadi supporters but the Congress party not even bothered to send any delegation to the incident site.” 

Echoing the views of Dubey, AJSU party MP from Giridih Chandra Prakash Choudhary, who too was at dharna wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding a high level probe in the incident. Choudhary through his letter stated that the high level probe under the supervision of Central agencies will bring the truth of the incident also it will repose faith on people about law and order. Choudhary in his letter also highlighted the Communal tension in Lohardaga and Giridih where Pro CAA supporters were attacked by anti social element last month.

Earlier, last month the six member team of BJP probing into Burugulikera massacre of West Singhbhum has submitted its report to party national president JP Nadda.

In the report, the BJP leaders accused State government of conducting a ‘biased’ probe into the killings. The BJP leaders said the law and order situation in the state had badly deteriorated.
