“This SIT should also probe the number of cases of cow slaughter in Mewat, cattle smuggling, and how many politicians were involved in it,’’BJP MLA Jrawta who represents a reserved assembly constituency told the Haryana assembly while participating in the discussion on budget estimates.

BJP MLA from Pataudi Satya Prakash Jrawta on Tuesday demanded that the domain of a special investigation team (SIT) which will probe the killings of Meo-Muslims should be expanded.

The BJP MLA who was apparently responding to the Meo-Muslim MLAs of the Congress who had on Monday flagged the rising number of attacks on Meos allegedly from the right-wing groups. “I have evidence that Dalits have been subjected to atrocities in Mewat,’’ the BJP MLA said.

Jrawta’s remarks were contested by the Congress MLAs who lodged a vociferous protest. Deputy peaker, Ranbir Gangwa had to intervene repeatedly to pacify the protesting MLAs. “But cow smuggling, killing of Haryana Police DSP, Surender by mining mafia and Faridabad girl Nikita should also be discussed in that panchayat,’’ Jrawta said.

“No one should be allowed to issue threats as was done on Monday in the House. Why are they protesting now? What’s hurting them? Seems they are scared of an investigation?’’ Jrawta said.

Parliamentary affairs minister Kanwar Pal said no one from the treasury benches interrupted when Congress MLAs were speaking in the House.

Transport minister Mool Chand Sharma, who is an MLA from the Ballabgarh assembly constituency in Faridabad district, said there are five villages in Mewat from where a stolen vehicle cannot be recovered. “Big car bazaars are held in Mewat for selling stolen vehicles. No one can enter these villages. Mewat belongs to us also, but the truth has to be spoken,” Sharma said.
