HYDERABAD: Vice-Chancellor of EFLU Abhay Maurya has given a call that
Dalits and the oppressed and suppressed sections of the society should
unite to achieve liberation. "I am not a Dalit, but I consider myself
one among you since my parents were oppressed peasants. Even now, some
upper castes do not rent
their houses to the lower castes," Maurya said and warned that there
were some `clever forces' bent upon creating wedges between BCs, SCs
and STs. He
was speaking at a national conference on `60 years of Indian constitution
- a review' organised by the SC, ST Employees' Welfare Association of
the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) here on Friday.
Bojja Tharakam, senior advocate, felt that the Constitution had not
been implemented in its true spirit in the past 60 years. Only now
people started insisting on its proper implementation.
"Ambedkar had drafted the Constitution not only for SC, STs but for
all citizens. Everything and everyone is protected by the statute,
including
foreigners who visit our country. Hence, I want to remind you the
words of Lenin that those who support the Constitution are the real
patriots," he said.
Udit Raj, Chairman, All India Confederation of SC/ST Organisations,
New Delhi, was among those present.
