Sack VK, send him to jail: Maya

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Friday demanded immediate sacking of Union minister VK Singh for his ‘dog’ remark on the Dalit killings in Faridabad and said that he should be sent to jail for his “petty, mean and low-level mentality”.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi should immediately dismiss him. He should be sent to jail for harbouring such petty and low-level mentality towards Dalits,” Mayawati said.

Her outburst came after Singh’s controversial remarks that “government cannot be held responsible if somebody stones a dog”. “The comment is against the self-respect and honour of Dalits all over the country. Our party not only condemns it, but also demands from the PM that he should immediately dismiss him for having such petty, mean and low-level mentality and send him to jail,” she said.
