Dalit organisations' poser to Government
By Our Special Correspondent
CHENNAI,
DEC. 23.
Dalit organisations today wanted to know why the State Government adopted a selective approach to paying ex-gratia to the kin of murder victims.
They said those murdered in Melavalavu, including a panchayat president, were in no way inferior to Sankararaman, manager of the Kancheepuram Varadaraja Perumal Swamy temple, who was killed recently. Then why did the Government choose to compensate the loss of just this one person and ignore families of hundreds of murdered Dalits, they asked.
Addressing presspersons here, representatives of the Ambedkar Makkal Sabhai, the Makkal Thamizhagam and the All-India Ambedkar Makkal Viduthalai Munnani said a similar compensation should be paid to those killed in the Tamirabarani firing.
This incident happened during the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam regime, but merely because of that the families should not be denied adequate compensation.
