Brinda KaratNew Delhi: Senior CPM leader Brinda Karat on Monday condemned the ragging of a Dalit girl student in Karnataka and demanded a "just" inquiry in the matter.
"Justice in this case requires that there should be no protection of those who are guilty. The victim's statement is very critical in this. And the Karnataka Police has to cooperate with a just inquiry, not with an inquiry which wants to save those who are guilty of this horrendous incident," Karat said.
She made the remarks on the sidelines of a protest organised by Delhi units of Left parties here against the easing of norms in FDI in various sectors.
The former parliamentarian also insisted that the girl, a native of Kerala, is given the "best of the treatment".
The first-year medical student was reportedly forced to drink toilet-cleaning liquid by her seniors at Al-Qamar College of Nursing in Gulberga on May 9.
