Today, we reached for the skies, set foot on the moon as well, but the name of putting an end to hatred and bloodshed on Earth is not being uttered…
Sagar, August 27, 2023 — A day after the alleged beating death of a young member of the Dalit community, outrage continues to reverberate in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district. Nitin Ahirwar, aged between 18 and 20, was reportedly brutally attacked by a group of individuals over a lingering dispute. His tragic demise en route to a Sagar hospital has ignited a wave of condemnation.
While the nation’s focus extends to the cosmos, the land remains stained with the unspoken horrors of violence. Amidst these developments, Congress president Mallikarjin Kharge voiced his concern on social media, drawing attention to the incident and asserting the need for justice. BSP chief Mayawati echoed the sentiments, denouncing the incident and urging accountability.
Despite the nation’s journey to the moon, the heart of the land remains burdened by silence over this appalling episode. While aspirations soar to celestial heights, the bloodshed on earth goes unnoticed.
