Killing of Dalit children should not be given political or casteist colour : Haryana CM

Chandigarh, Oct 22 (IBNS) Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said that the incident of killing of two Dalit children should not be given political or casteist colour.

“We want that the investigation is done properly. But with great regret I have to say that some parties are trying to politicise this incident... It should not be given a political or casteist colour,” he said after visiting the family of the children who were burnt alive in a Faridabad village on Tuesday.

Khattar handed over a cheque of Rs 10 lakh to the family.

He said that family’s demand of CBI probe has been met and if there is any laxity on part of police, they will also not be spared.

“I have been monitoring this case since the very beginning and when allegations came up against police officials a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed. Later the case was handed over to CBI as the relatives of the victim demanded that,” he said.

Two-and-a-half-years-old Vaibhav and nine-month-old Divya died after some people belonging to the  upper caste Rajput community allegedly set their house on fire when the family was asleep.
