Dalits Attacked In Seemandhra: Harish Rao
Dalits are being subjected to attacks by Samaikyandhra activists, and the administration and the police are not taking any action, says the TRS leader.
Telangana Rashstra Samithi MLA T Harish Rao alleged that the state government is turning a blind's eye to the attacks on Dalits in the Seemandhra region.
Talking to reporters, Harish Rao alleged that several Dalits are being subjected to attacks by Samaikyandhra activists at several places in the Seemandhra region. He added that the administration and the police have not been taking any action to protect Dalits.
"Seemandhra leaders seeking protection in Telangana region are not concerned about the safety of Dalits living in their region," he stated.
Harish Rao also said, "The state police had branded youth as naxalites when they had participated in the Telangana movement. Multiple cases were registered against the youth when they supported the hunger strike undertaken by TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao for the cause of statehood for the region. However, the police are now providing protection to YSRCP's honorary president Vijayamma's hunger strike demanding Samaikyandhra." (INN)
