The Hindu
To raise the voices of the underprivileged and the dispossessed
The Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) is taking out a ‘nyay yatra’ to raise the voices of the underprivileged and the dispossessed. The yatra started from Saharanpur on Saturday and will culminate in Agra on October 10. It will pass through Muzaffarnagar, Bijnor, Shamli, Baghpat, Meerut, Bulandshahr, Aligarh and Mathura. In alliance with the Samajwadi Party, these are the districts in western Uttar Pradesh where the party seeks to put up its candidates in the coming Assembly polls. During the march, the party will raise six demands, which include justice for the alleged victim of rape and murder in Hathras, permanent job for all sanitation workers who are on contract and strict implementation of law against manual scavenging. The party also demands a compensation of ₹ 4 lakh for those who lost their kin to COVID-19.
