Chandigarh, Oct 3 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday demanded a Supreme Court monitored inquiry into the Hathras tragedy and its mishandling by the Uttar Pradesh government.
Talking to media here, Mr Badal said the Uttar Pradesh government had discriminated against the victim family by forcefully conducting the last rites of the victim without the consent of her family.
“Even as the SAD condemns this action, we demand dismissal of all police and civil officers responsible for this heinous act. Transfers and suspension is not enough. An exemplary example must be set or else Dalits will lose faith in the government,” the SAD chief said.
