New Delhi: Former Rajya Sabha MP V Hanumantha Rao here on Wednesday criticised the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments for their failure to curb increasing atrocities on Dalits of late.
He said both the governments were turning a blind eye towards the attacks on Dalits in the both the States and the police was protecting the interests of the attackers instead of the victims.
Speaking to the media, he accused that the Telangana government was trying to smother the democratic dissent and freedom of speech by attempting to relocate Dharna Chowk.
The former Congress MP said a dharna would be held at Jantar Mantar here on August 22 in which leaders of democratic organisations including Prof Kodandaram and civil society members would take part.
Rao said the situation was no different in Andhra Pradesh, like his counterpart in Telangana, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was attacking human rights relentlessly. Moreover, he was using the police to intimidate people who questioned the wrongs of the government, he added.
