Hardening its stand against the US, Centre has taken a series of steps to scale down the privileges granted to US diplomats after the Devyani incident.
Plying the Dalit card, BSP supremo, however, said, “Had it been another woman in her place, the government would have taken some major action by now. But it has been many days since the incident happened and the government is yet to initiate any concrete step. Whatever the government is doing is not clear yet. It seems the Centre is not serious on the issue yet. This is an important national issue.” She said after the considerable struggle, SC people got the right to education.
Seeking apology from the US for its conduct, she said, “US should apologise to India and withdraw all cases against the woman. If US does not apologise then India should rethink on its ties with that country.”
