Eluru: CPI state secretary and Samajika Hakkula Vedika convener K Ramakrishna on Thursday gave an ultimatum to the officials and State government that if they failed to reinstall Dr B R Ambedkar statue before September 16 at the same place where it was removed in Garagaparru, the Samajika Hakkula Vedika and Dalita Hakkula Porata Samiti will reinstall the statue in the village violating prohibitory orders if any promulgated after September 17.
Threatens to reinstall the statue in the village violating prohibitory orders after September 17
Participating as s chief guest at the round-table meeting organised by Samajika Hakkula Vedika, Dalita Hakkula Porata Samiti in Eluru on Garagaparru Dalits problems, Ramakrishna said that even after five months of the social boycott in Garagaparru village, no assurances given by the Ministers and officials were fulfilled.
Out of 310 Dalit families in the village, only 265 families have been sanctioned benefits and did not care about the remaining 45 families. “It is an injustice. They should also get the benefits announced by the Ministers team. They should also get the compensation based on their identity card they had”, he demanded.
He expressed regret that the officials did not so far pay the financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh to Yakub family, who died in a road accident near the village.
The CPI leader said that Ambedkar not confined to Dalits only and he belongs to all sections of people. He said the removal of Ambedkar statue in the village is nothing but a terrible incident and demanded the State government reinstall the statue by September 16 in the village. We will reinstall the statue in the village on September 16, even there might be barriers and obstructions created by the State, he said.
Addressing the meeting, AP Dalita Hakkula Porata Samiti state president JV Prabhakar, AP Vyavasaya Karmika Sangh state general secretary, Former MLC Jalli Wilson and CPI state assistant secretary JVV Satyanarayana Murthy said that it is unfortunate and shameful on the part of the governments that the caste-feeling and caste-discrimination prevails in the villages and attacks on the Dalits and minorities goes on unabated.
CPI District Secretary Dega Prabhakar presided over the meeting. The meeting also paid tributes to slain journalist Gouri Lankesh in Bengaluru.
