Roundtable faults TS govt for sexual violence
Resolution passed to fight govt’s callous attitude in handling sensitive cases
A roundtable conference was held on Friday on ‘Crime Against Women’, which unanimously passed a resolution to fight against the state government’s callous attitude in taking action against accused in sensitive cases and negligence of police officers.
Speaking on the occasion, former MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy said the ruling
TRS had violated rules in influencing the police in hushing up cases against women. Police indulged in civil disputes from the village level to state level and misused their powers to support the TRS, he said.
“We sought information under the Right to Information Act regarding the VVIP security to the family members of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and convoy details. The government did not disclose the details citing security reasons. Crores of rupees are spent on security of VVIPs,” he alleged.
AICC official spokesperson Dasoju Sravan Kumar said police transfers impacted badly on law and order issues and influenced the policing system. “If the police are posted in certain places with MLAs recommendations, such officers are committed to work for the TRS. They fail to handle sensitive cases like the
Jubilee Hills gangrape case. There were contradictory statements by the Hyderabad police officers in connection with the Jubilee Hills gangrape incident,” he alleged.
The Telangana Jana Samithi chief Prof. Kodandaram called upon the activists to stage protest at Indira Park against the government’s callous attitude in responding over a series of rape incidents being taken place in the city.
