New Delhi: The concern over the silence of the Prime Minister on the dilution of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act has spread beyond Dalit MPs in the NDA.

Junior human resource development minister and BJP ally Upendra Kushwaha on Tuesday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the government should immediately move the Supreme Court against the order that prevents immediate arrest over complaints of atrocities.

Kushwaha becomes the first minister from backward classes to make the demand. So far, Dalit MPs have been voicing the demand. The letter is being seen as a sign of the concern of a section of allies that the Prime Minister's silence might reinforce a perception that the upper castes have prevailed over the government to wait and watch.

In his two-page letter, Kushwaha told the Prime Minister: "The Rashtriya Lok Samata Party seeks your immediate intervention. We urge the government to immediately file a review petition before the Supreme Court."

The minister urged Modi to call an all-party meeting to even find a "political solution" to the issue. "It is expected that through your able leadership, you will provide justice to the SCs/STs by your immediate intervention," he said.

Kushwaha later told The Telegraph: "I have written the letter because I feel concerned. The court's ruling will leave the weaker sections unprotected and PM Narendra Modi should intervene to ensure justice."

Kushwaha said he decided to write the letter to the Prime Minister out of his own commitment to the weaker sections and said that Dalit MPs had not approached him. "The government has to step in to protect the rights of the backwards, Dalits and the tribals," he said.
