Lucknow, Aug 10, 2016: In yet another incident of atrocities against Dalits, a man and his daughter from the backward community, were thrashed for drawing water from a handpump in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district.

The father and daughter were beaten by the the upper caste community people as the handpump was owned by them and they could not tolerate Dalits having water from it.

Though inhumane attitude towards Dalits have been common in India, however, of late spate of recent attacks on Dalits in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh have been hogging the deadlines, all thanks to the political parties.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public rally in Hyderabad on Sunday and expressed concern over the recent attacks on people from Dalit community and urged the opponents to stop politicising in the name of Dalit.

RSS said the right-wing Hindu nationalist group have being doing its best services to integrate Dalit societies into the main stream adding those attacking Dalits are anti-national.
