The TRS Government is suppressing peoples’ voice and movements which no other government did in the past, alleged Prof. G.N. Saibaba of Delhi University. Mr. Saibaba was here to take part in the Telangana Democratic Forum (TDF) public meeting. Talking to newsmen, he said he was surprised by the TRS government’s denial of permission to the public meeting in Warangal. The court had to intervene and allow the meeting to take place as the government denied permission. The meeting was aimed at protesting the encounter killing of Vivek, Sruthi and Vidyasagar Reddy, he said.
Now, Adivasi people are being haunted and hunted down in the name of Green Hunt. The tribals are being displaced in the name of law and order with the only intention to exploit natural resources. The governments want the corporate sector to exploit the resources at the cost of innocent tribal people. Whoever supports the innocent tribal people are being branded as anti-social and hunted down, which is very sad, he said. “This meeting is aimed at calling upon people to join our fight all over the country,” Prof. Saibaba said. Telangana Democratic Forum vice-president Ch. Prabhakar welcomed the judgment of the High Court and described it as historic judgment protecting the freedom of speech from feudal methods of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. He said no Chief Minister had ever acted like Mr. Rao, who made the police withdraw the permission granted to the public meeting without any reason.
