Tribune News Service Amritsar April 8 Punjab State SC Commission member Dr Tarsem Singh Sialka listened to the grievances of several Dalits who had arrived from different districts with their problems here on Thursday. After listening to various people Dr Tarsem Singh said under the leadership of social activist Husnpreet Singh Randhawa president of the Minorities Welfare Organisation Satnam Singh Gill and Lakhwinder Singh Attari several victim families visited and shared their grievances. Sialka said a serious case of illegal possession at Peer Baba Gulab Shah tomb in Umarpura village of Ajnala by a Christian man has come to the notice of the commission. “According to the complainant the occupant is a Christian and the tomb belongs to a Muslim. There were bloody clashes in Umarpura village on April 6 2021 due to the suspicious role of the police in the possession case. Instead of fair investigation the police were patronising the culprits” said Sialka. Sialka said if the Ajnala police fails to listen to the complainant then the commission might consider visiting Umarpura to look into the matter. He said in most of the complaints lodged with the Amritsar rural police and Amritsar Commissionerate the complainants were unhappy with the one-sided action of police. Sialks said a serious case of late Kulwinder Singh who was killed by some upper caste people has also come to fore in which victims complained about police inaction. He said the third case was that of children from various districts of Punjab who had approached the commission to avail the benefit of 5 per cent quota in various posts in the Water Supply and Sanitation Department in the recruitment process. Departmental action was taken to ensure the disposal of the case.
