Mala Mahanadu leader Dr. RS Ratnakar announces ongoing peaceful protests against SC sub-categorisation in Telangana, urging for unity and equitable representation for all Scheduled Caste communities.
Mahabubnagar: Alleging that the implementation of SC sub-categorisation threatens the existence of the Mala community in Telangana, Mala Mahanadu and RAKS National President Dr RS Ratnakar said his organisation would continue its peaceful agitation until legal changes are made in Parliament.
Addressing a press conference in Mahabubnagar on Friday, Dr Ratnakar alleged that the Congress government had laid the foundation for SC sub-categorisation, which later expanded across the country.
He said that since the benefits under SC reservations are already limited, both the Central and State governments must clarify how equal opportunities would be ensured for all Scheduled Caste communities across India, including all SC groups in the Telugu states.
He accused governments of weakening Dalit unity in the name of social justice. He demanded that the principle of social justice should not be confined to reservations alone but should also be reflected in the distribution of national wealth and representation in Union and State CabinetsHe also called upon elected representatives from the Mala community in both Telugu states to raise their voice on the issue and unite to safeguard the interests of their community.
