Summary:
Jaipur: Husan Dalwai, Rajya Sabha MP for Maharashtra, raised the matter of functionaries taking photographs of people defecating in the open as part of enforcing the Swachh Bharat Mission. To the question on what will be done if officials are found manhandling people, the minister responded that sanitation is a state subject - thus evading a response even though Swachh Bharat is a central scheme. He also claims the investigation is still going on and arrests will occur until the probe is over.The government's response does not take cognizance of this loss of life in the course of the implementation of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Pratapgarh SP Shivraj Meena has maintained that the post-mortem report showed Husain died of cardio-respiratory failure. None of the accused, however, has yet been arrested..
