‘Simha Garjana’ by SC/STs in Warangal

Rajamahendravaram: Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti (MRPS) founder president Manda Krishna Madiga has said that SC/STs should fight under one roof against Central government to protect their rights.

Addressing SC/STs at Sri Venkateswara Anam Kala Kendram here on Thursday, he alleged that both Supreme Court and BJP government were trying to dilute SC/ST Atrocities Prevention Act. As part of it, a two-member bench delivered judgement squashing two sections in the act. Still many atrocities were taking place in the country though the act was in force. If the act was changed, what would be the fate of SC/STs, he questioned.

To mount pressure on BJP-led government, a massive meeting ‘Simha Garjana’ would be held in Warangal on May 27, he said adding that SC/STs must participate in the meeting on a massive scale. Unity of SCs and STs was need of the hour, he said.Though there were skirmishes between SC/STs and other categories, it was the time to fight together for our survival, he added.

The union of SC/STs was an historical necessity, he opined.SC/ST Atrocities Act Parirakshna Samithi chief coordinator JB Raju, coordinator Gurnadham, Mala Mahanadu national president G Chennaiah, former MP GV Harsha Kumar and others were present.
