MRPS stages dharna for re-classification

By Our Staff Reporter

CUDDAPAH, DEC. 30. The MRPS State vice-president, K.C. Lakshmaiah, on Thursday demanded an enactment in Parliament to re-classify SCs.

Addressing a dharna before the Collectorate, he urged the Government to keep appointments in abeyance until then. The micro-classification was achieved by movements in which 11 persons lost lives, he said and flayed leaders of Mala community for getting it scrapped. Lamenting a G.O. issued in accordance with the Supreme Court judgment, Mr. Lakshmaiah warned of an agitation against it.

The Rayalaseema Civil Liberties Committee convener, M.J. Subbarami Reddy, said Madigas would regress by the scrapping of the micro-classification and wanted re-classification. The MRPS leader, Ravi Kumar, warned of a democratic movement seeking re-classification of SCs.

Memorandum presented
