Shankar Rao Attack: MRPS Protests
Krishna Madiga accuses the government of shielding Karthik Reddy since
he is the Home Minister's son.

23rd Dec, 2011: Tension prevailed at Basheerbagh on Friday, when the
Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti launched an "Atma Gaurava Yatra" in
protest against the attack on Handlooms & Textiles Minister P Shankar
Rao.

Led by MRPS founder Manda Krishna Madiga, the activists launched the
Yatra at Babu Jagjivanram's statue, demanding that the government
immediately arrest Karthik Reddy, the son of Home Minister Sabitha
Indra Reddy, for his alleged involvement in the attack on Shankar Rao.

However, police took the activists, including Krishna Madiga, into custody.

The MRPS activists had a heated argument with the police over the arrest.

MRPS president Bhaskar Madiga and Secretary Surender Madiga were also
taken into custody by the police, and everyone was shifted to the
Nampally police station.

Talking to reporters, Krishna Madiga accused the government of
shielding Karthik Reddy since he is the Home Minister's son.

He said that the MRPS would stage dharnas and rallies on 26 December
across the state, protesting the attack on Shankar Rao.

The MRPS will also take out a rally from Shankar Rao's residence to
NTR Nagar, where he was attacked, on 27 December. (INN)
