“Unimaginable brutality against Dalits on Ambedkar Jayanti, what a shameful reflection of governance. Is this Dr. Ambedkar’s Constitution in action, or CM Revanth Reddy’s personal rulebook?,” BRS MLC K Kavitha said on X. Sharing videos on X, she said dalits in Lingampet Mandal, Kamareddy were stripped, humiliated and arrested by the police.
“For what? Putting up banners for Ambedkar Jayanti?” she asked.
“The police acted like unruly mobs not public servants. What kind of police feel bold enough do something like this, unless they know they’re protected from above? This is not just brutality, this is a hate crime. I strongly condemn this inhuman act” the BRS MLC said, demanding immediate suspension of the officers involved and wanted SC/ST Atrocity cases to be booked against those responsible without delay.
“The Government should issue a public apology. This is not law and order, this is targeted oppression. We will not let any voice that has been attacked, be silenced,” Kavitha said.
