Amaravati: Author Kancha Ilaiah’s book on Vysya community triggered controversy across the state. Members of Vysya community staged protests and took out rallies in various places on Tuesday. Tension prevailed for some time in towns like Jagaiahpet in Krishna district. They took strong exception on the comments against Vysya community in the book.
In this backdrop, the state government is mulling to ban the book. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu discussed the issue with Director General of Police (DGP) N Sambasiva Rao at Secretariat here on Tuesday. The CM was informed on the ongoing protests by Vysya community.
On this occasion, the CM directed the DGP that the law and order was important to the government. If anything is damaging sentiments of any community that should be banned, he reportedly instructed the police department. However, the government did not make any official statement on this front.
Andhra Pradesh Arya Vysya Corporation Sadhana Samithi Corporation chairman Konejeti Ramesh said that the books should be banned immediately. He alleged that Ilaiah wrote book to create disputes among the various sections of people. He said that this kind of books would harm to the society.
