A PIL Appeal for justice
CJI - Are lives of SC ST more important than others ? Are all lives equally important ?
In Karnataka, special health benefits for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) include access to various government health schemes that provide free or subsidized medical services, including hospitalization and treatment. These initiatives aim to improve healthcare access and quality for marginalized communities while neglecting the health care of others.
Nature has made every human being same , same IQ, same intelligence for all , no discrimination. We human beings made mistakes by dividing ourselves on the basis of race , skin colour , caste , etc.
Nature , viruses , bacterias , diseases don't differentiate human beings on the basis of caste , religion , race , etc. They attack human beings who are prone irrespective of caste, religion, race.
Right to life is a human right also a fundamental right. It is the duty of government to protect lives of all it’s citizens. As the onus of life protection is on the government , suicide attempts by citizens becomes a crime.
Nature doesn't discriminate human beings but governments disriminates human beings , citizens on the basis of caste. Please read the following articles , governments go extra mile to protect health of sc / st citizens by giving them extra health , monetary benefits to them.
For sc / st citizens nil premium for yashaswini health insurance in karnataka. For sc / st patients lakhs of rupees government monetary aid to treat rare diseases.
It proves perception of government , citizens belonging to so called upper castes let them suffer from diseases and let them have agonizing death. But government must protect health , precious lives of sc / st citizens only. Is this form of ambedkar samvidhan’s equality ? Is it not discrimination ? Is it not the duty of government to extend same quantum of medical support to all patients, citizens irrespective of caste , race , religion ? Is it not violation of right to life of patients ? Is not government murdering poor patients ( non sc / st) by denying them proper medical support ?
We appeal to you to provide justice to all.
