Fact Finding comitee report:
Garakaparru villagers should withdraw SC’s Social boycott-Dr.Ambedkar’s Statue to be errected side by to other National Leaders’ Statues
Samajika Samarasata vedika,Andhra Pradesh:
Samajika Samarasata vedika,AP is strongly condemning the Social boycott of SC’s of Garakaparru village,palakoderu Mandal,West Godavari district.,AP.This incident is un-democratic, illegal.& inhuman.
On the bank of Garakaparru village lake there are statues of national leaders- Mahatma Gandhi, Alluri Sitaramaraju, Katamrayudu. Local SC’ people wanted to erect Dr.Ambedkar’s statue Sid by to orher statues.Local TDP leaders Indukuri Balaramaraju & others objected for the errection of the Dr.Ambedkar statue there.The village leaders adviced the SC’s to unveil Dr.Ambedkar statue in their own SC colony.But the local SC people insisted to unveil Dr.Ambedkar statue on the bank of lake where others statues are there.
The village leaders organised all castes people,to boycott the SC’s as a reaction that SC’s are not obeying their decision.
Dr.Ambedkar is merely not a SC leader.He is a national leader.Advising SC’s to unveil Dr.Ambedkar statue in SC colony only is not proper.Eventhough Indukuri Balaraju helped a lot in local SC’s development,and had good relations with SC’s,his & village leaders’ superior caste mind-set is the sole reason for this worst unhappy incident.
Local Revenue & police officials failed to understand the gravity of the situation & failed to discharge their constitutional responsibilities.
Demands:
1) SC people who were socially boycotted ,Govt.should give necessary economic,social support.
2)The villagers should immediately withdraw SC’s social boycott.
3) The villagers should take lead in errecting Dr.Ambedkar’s statue side by to other leaders’ statues.
Samajika Samarasata vedika appeals the vllage leaders not to take prestige issue & to take initiative in bringing social harmony among different castes of the Garakaparru village.By bringing social harmony only we can get village development & prosperity.
