Dalits come out against Anna Hazare’s fast

Contrary to the general enthusiasm over Anna Hazare’s fast over Lokpal bill, the dalits have struck a divergent note, warning that the government should not accept the Gandhian’s demand against parliamentary processes, saying it would set a dangerous trend and make backward classes vulnerable.

With the war of wits between Hazare’s camp and the Centre entering a decisive phase, the unease felt by the dalit groups since the Gandhian sat on fast spilt out in the open.
