MP lashes out at Kancha Ilaiah over comments against Vysyas
Telugu Desam Party Rajya Sabha Member TG Venkatesh has strongly condemned the derogatory remarks against Vysya community by Professor Kancha Ilaiah in his book.
Kurnool: Telugu Desam Party Rajya Sabha Member TG Venkatesh has strongly condemned the derogatory remarks against Vysya community by Professor Kancha Ilaiah in his book.
Venkatesh said that the write ups of Ilaiahwill igniteclashes among communities. With Ilaiah’s derogatory remarks, the entire Vysya community is on fire, said Venkatesh in a press conference held at Mourya Inn on Wednesday.
Highlights:
- Venkatesh says the writings of Ilaiah will ignite clashes among communities
- Demands removal of the controversial pages in his book
Venkatesh said that it is shame on part of Ilaiah to support his writings in his book despite a case lodged against him by the Central Investigation Department (CID).
He demanded to remove the controversial pages in which he has made allegations on Vysyas or else his book would be banned. “It is not a fair practice to degrade Hindu society whatever religion you adopt. Gandhi is being adored in the entire globe and is being prayed after installing his statues. Finding fault in such person is not a good thing,” said Venkatesh.
“I did not make any comments though some remarks were made against me. Even you are free to ransack my residence and you can join with the probing officers. You would be given the same regard as the investigation officers were given and this is the culture of ours,” said Venkatesh.
Speaking about the employment of downtroddenat his factory, Venkatesh said about 60 percent of SCs were given preference and were engaged in high position.
He asked Ilaiah, “Have you ever adopted anyone and did a favour as we are doing here. We are conducting mass marriages to below poverty line people for free of cost and constructing community halls, classrooms and other infrastructures.”
He suggested Ilaiah to withdraw his comments and be a human being.
