Dalit organisation seeks action against legislator

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Ambedkar Yuvajana Sangham, a State-level Dalit
organisation, condemned the allegations of sexual abuse made against
M. Malyadri, founder of Siria Orphanage Home and School,
Vanasthalipuram, and demanded that the persons behind it should be
arrested under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

At a press conference on Wednesday, I. Maisaiah, president of the
organisation alleged that a local legislator had an axe to grind
against Mr.Malyadri over a personal dispute and that the news channel
and the police officials "acted on his behest to harass a Dalit".

Citing the report by a fact-finding mission by various Dalit
organisations which concluded that the allegations against Mr.
Malyadri were made with malafide intentions, Mr. Maisaiah said six out
of seven girls included in the FIR vouched for the founder's
integrity.

"We demand that the legislator either resign or be sacked from his
position immediately. The police officials and people responsible for
the news report should be arrested. Mr. Malyadri and the orphanage
home should be given protection by the government," Mr. Maisaiah
demanded..
