This refers to the recent case of an Indian Diplomat posted in US and being arrested and not handled properly. The matter is under wide scrutiny and both the Governments seem to be responding on it.
While speaking on this issue in Rajya Sabha today, Ms. Mayawati (from Bahujan Samaj Party) said two contradictory things :
1. She said that since the diplomat belonged to a weaker section of the society (Scheduled Caste), the section is feeling aggravated and people feel that had this diplomat not been from such a section the Central Government would not have delayed in their response
2. One should not bring caste in such issues
She then also went onto blame the congress that had she been from any other caste there would have been much swifter reaction.
But ma'am aren't you the one bringing caste into such an issue ? Is it really the case that there was a delay because of her caste ? Why do we want to talk or rather even think in such lines ?
If a leader of such a stature accuses the Government of such a thing isn't that actually scaring or encouraging people from the respective section to feel discriminated ? Isn't this promoting caste discrimination ? Had there been such a delay then why didn't you raise the issue much earlier ?
Why can't we start seeing things over any divide especially above caste and communal lines and act like a united Nation ?
