THIRUVANATHAPURAM: The official faction of the Kerala Pulaya Mahasabha
(KPMS) has decided to help those who have extended support to the
organisation in the Assembly polls.
KPMS president T V Babu told reporters here on Thursday that the state
committee of the organisation had decided to extend support to
candidates who would assure support to their cause.
The faction led by Babu had taken control of the organisation after
expelling the then general secretary Punnala Sreekumar alleging
pro-UDF stand.
He said that both the fronts had neglected the issues related to the
scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The manifestos of both the
fronts are silent on the issues related to these sections, he said.
KPMS will continue its struggle for basic facilities for the dalit
communities, including land, education, job and shelter.
They will support individuals and organisations which will work for
these causes.
Political parties are neglecting the issues of dalit communities to
safeguard the interests of organised communities with social, economic
and educational powers, he said.
He said that the organisation would oppose any move to scuttle the
secular fabric of the society.
KPMS general secretary N K Neelakandan Master, treasurer Cheruvakkal
Ashokan and organisational secretary Thuravoor Suresh attended the
news conference.
