A group of BJP's Dalit MPs met Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad recently, asserted that they would meet party chief Amit Shah regarding a review petition against the recent Supreme Court order.
BJP's ‘SC Morcha’ chief Vinod Kumar Sonkar, who is also a Lok Sabha member stated that they met Prasad and would meet Shah, insisting that the government would ensure that no harm was done to the interests of the community.
Prasad also asserted that the government was examining the top court's judgement and would give a structured response to it in the coming days.
The Supreme Court recently introduced the provision of anticipatory bail and ruled against automatic arrest of the accused booked under the law.
Several BJP leaders had stated that it would work against the interests of Dalits and that several laws were misused but it should not result in diluting them adding that the atrocities against Dalits remained a serious issue in vast parts of the country.
