The government has assured that Rs 10 lakh compensation, and Rs 1.5 lakh under PM Awas Yojana will be given to the family members of the priest who was allegedly burnt alive by land encroachers in Karauli's Bukna village, said BJP MP KL Meena on Saturday.
"The government has assured that Rs 10 lakh compensation amount and Rs 1.5 lakh under PM Awas Yojana will be given to the priest's family. A job will also be given to a member of his family. The Station House Officer (SHO) and the Patwari have been suspended," said Mr Meena.
"A special team will arrive here from Jaipur to arrest the accused persons, along with a district team. If people are satisfied with this then we can call off the dharna otherwise we will continue this...people of this basti will decide this," he added.
Meanwhile, condemning the incident Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that according to National Crime Records Bureau numbers, Rajasthan is one of the leading states in crime statistics.
"The attempt to burn the priest over a temple dispute in Karauli proves the disarray and state of confusion in which the Rajasthan govt lies. According to the National Crime Records Bureau numbers, Rajasthan is one of the leading states in crime statistics," said Mr Shekhawat.
On the other hand, BJP leader Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said that the graph of crime is consistently rising in Rajasthan.
"Girls are being molested while honest police personnel are committing suicide and today a priest has been set ablaze. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Priyanka Gandhi can go to Hathras and do political tourism but they are silent on the events in Rajasthan," said Mr Rathore.
"I want to ask them, will they come to Rajasthan as well?" he added. The temple priest died of his injuries on Thursday night after he was allegedly burnt alive by some people during a fight over encroachment of temple land at Bukna village in Sapotra, Karauli district.
The police have arrested the main accused, Kailash Meena in connection with the incident.
