Social Justice min concerned over SC-ST atrocities
India Blooms News Service
New Delhi, Mar 26 (IBNS): Union Minister of Social Justice and
Empowerment Mukul Wasnik on Saturday expressed concerns over the low
conviction rate for cases of atrocities against scheduled castes and
tribes (SC/STs).
He said that it was a matter of great concern that the conviction rate
for cases of atrocities against SC/STs is less than 29 percent against
the average of 43 percent for all cognizable offenses under the Indian
Penal Code (IPC).
"Reports of atrocities against SCs and STs unfortunately continue to
appear all over the country with disturbing regularity," he said.
The Minister also informed that the Centre has been pushing the States
to ensure registration of cases of atrocities against SCs and STs.
