<<Permission for Dalit rally revoked
Paromita Mukhopadhyay
(New Delhi, November 2)
If a Dalit rally finally takes place at Ramlila Grounds on Sunday, it
will
be thanks to the grit shown by organiser Ram Raj —- and despite the best
efforts of the government and the VHP.
Ram Raj, Joint Commissioner of Income Tax, and chairman of the All India
Confederation of SC/ST and of the Lord Buddha Club, had organised a
punarjagran (re-awakening) ceremony designed to ask one million Dalits to
revert to Buddhism, purportedly their
original religion. But with certain evangelical Christians announcing
they
will use the event to convert a few to their own faith, alarm signals are
going off.
Deputy Commissioner of Police R S Krishna revoked permission on Wednesday
on
the grounds that 1 million people cannot fit into Ramlila grounds in the
first place, and that Raj has concealed his links with Christian
organisations.
[...]
Raj is planning to approach 'higher authorities' for the rally and
proposes
to go ahead even if denied permission. "Now is too late to call off
the
rally, for people have started travelling to Delhi," he
says.>>
Any further developments in the matter?
