CPI General Secretary Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy points out that only 25 per cent of accused in cases related to atrocities against SCs, STs were convicted
Appeals to Left parties to unite for protecting the interests of nation
Participating at the CPI State-level convention here on Saturday, Sudhakar Reddy said people of the country feeling insecure especially downtrodden communities were not able spend peaceful life as they were being humiliated in all aspects.
Over 25 per cent of accused were convicted in atrocities occurring on SC/STs as the prosecution failed to prove it with evidence, he said and added that the Supreme Court was wrongly informed by the government over the SC/ST atrocities, which led to unrest among the downtrodden communities.
As part of suppressing the rights of SC/STs, the BJP-led NDA government brutally gunned down people in north Indian states as they demanded for revision of the apex court’s verdict on SC/ST Atrocities Act.
He appealed to Left parties to unite for protecting the interests of nation. Responding to the double standards adopted by the ruling TDP over the Special Category Status (SCS), he said there was political instability witnessing in Andhra Pradesh and called upon all parties to come under one common platform to secure SCS for the state. CPI state secretary K Ramakrishna said the padayatra taken up by CPI along with Jana Sena party in Vijayawada on Friday got good response from public. With the same spirit, the CPI will go ahead in the coming days. CPI district secretary Eswaraiah and others were present.
