Freedom fighters’ protest irks Srihari. The Deputy CM, K Srihari, has faced the wrath of the freedom fighters, who expressed concern at the negligent attitude of the State government towards their issues.
The Freedom Fighters Association leader P Veeraswamy and others complained that the 80 sq yards land given to them was inadequate. They demanded a minimum of 300 sq yards to be given to all freedom fighters.
Several appeals in this connection were unheard of and attempts to contact the Deputy CM to submit a petition proved futile, they lamented.
Crores of rupees were being doled out to different sections but the freedom fighters were not cared for, alleged Veeraswamy.
