Dalit Groups Launch Parliament Campaign to End Untouchability by 2047 ‘This is a program that does not demand any welfare scheme from the government’
Launching a fresh campaign against continuing inequality, Dalits across India have thrown the gauntlet before the Government of India to end untouchability by 2047 marking the centenary of India’s independence.
The 1111 campaign (1 Country 1 Nation; Please repeat, 1 Country 1 Nation) takes a leaf from that launched in 2012 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his avatar as Gujarat Chief Minister when he sought donations of iron in the form of tools and implements for the construction of freedom fighter and Congress minister Sardar Patel’s Statue of Unity in Kevadia.
