BHOPAL: A day after a state Congress’s rally held in Badwani, demanding rights for the tribal society across the state, the Opposition party on Tuesday claimed that oppression of the community continues unabated under BJP regime.
State Congress said that two more incidents were reported against the tribal community, one in Balaghat where a tribal schoolgirl was murdered and another death of a tribal person was reported from a police station in Khargone district.
PCC chief Kamal Nath on Tuesday tweeted, “The work of oppression and suppression of tribal society continues in Madhya Pradesh. After the Nemawar and Neemuch cases, there are now reports of the death of a tribal person in police custody at Bistan police station in Khargone district. And there is also the grim news of the murder of a tribal girl who was on her way to school in Balaghat district.”
The former chief minister demanded a high-level probe into both the cases.
“I demand from the state government that there should be a high-level investigation for both these unfortunate incidents. Strict, punitive action should be taken immediately against the culprits and all possible help should be extended to the families of the victims and they should get justice,” the Congress veteran tweeted.
