Telangana State BJP general secretary Chinta Sambamurthy today condemned an incident in the Nalgonda district where a Dalit woman was allegedly denied access to a toilet near a pushkar ghat on the basis of her caste.
"It is unfortunate that even after 70 years of independence, people are being abused for being from a certain caste and are being denied basic rights and facilities. This is inhuman," he lamented.
Sambamurthy alleged that a police officer of the rank of DSP, instead of registering a case, had suppressed it under as he was under political pressure from the TRS.
The BJP leader demanded a probe into the alleged caste-based discrimination and action against those involved.
