As many as 120 Dalits from Haryana's Jind district have converted to Buddhism over non-fulfilment of their demands including making SC/ST Act more stringent, Dalit leader Dinesh Khapad claimed today.
He said the dalits had been protesting for past nearly four months demanding CBI probe into the Jind's Dalit girl gangrape andmurder case this year and an ordinance by the state government to make the SC/ST Act more stringent.
"We had a meeting with Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on March 7. He had then said that all our demands will be met within 15 days," he said, adding their demands remained unfulfilled
