Dharmapuri Incident

All progressive people become happy about the dharmapuri incident. The newspapers who only publish lies, and the Televisions who never worry anything other than TRP ratings as usual has started manipulating things.
Because of these lies, even neutral people are confused a lot and started their sermon of caste unity.
Puthiya Thalaimurai is the first one to publish the lie that 300 houses were burnt . For those who think whether Puthiya Thalaimurai TV will tell lie, I will tell the reason why they have to, in the last.
Continuous Telecast was done by Puthiya Thalaimurai that 300 houses were burnt, and 50 vehicles burnt. Usually they send their reporters to the spot and telecaste live , but in this case, they did not send any reporters or any live visuals. Even after so many days, they did not send any reporters.
The next day, daily papers also published these lies adding or reducing the count as their whims and fancies. They did not care to hear both the sides. Rather they just manipulated bews from only one section.
The marriage was said to be done on Oct-14th, and the girl’s father committed suicide on Nov-7 (around 23 days). No one asked the question, why did girl’s father has to commit suicide after 23 days? Here is one has to doubt.
Few months back, there was a news item in Netrikkan magazine about Sexual tortures of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal . To condemn this, the cadres of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal went in 3 sumos, and ransacked the Netrikkan Office. This made me doubt that something is going to happen in Dharmapuri.
Visit to Dharmapuri by my friends:
In the road from dharmapuri to Thrupathur, the nayakkan kottai village is located in the main road at the 9th KM. From there, entering the left side road, the natham colony is present. Due to 144, we faced severe restrictions from Police. As we entered, a van and 3 two wheeler vehicle was seen in burnt condition. Some cycles were also seen as burnt . The palm shed in front of the houses were seen burnt. One cow shed was also seen burnt and appeared bare. In the nearby school, a samiyana tent was there, under which some people cooked. Some party members was enquiring people there. When we spoke to some women, they said, since our jathi boy married the other jathi girl, they burnt our houses.
These messages are already found in newspapers and we felt nothing new would be got from here. So we started moving towards the “Sellan Kottai” village where the incident took place. After crossing Natham colony, within one km, we reached that village. First we saw a primary school. After that there are only 10 houses there. We found later that only the girl’s father Nagaraj (who committed suicide) , and his relatives were residing there.
Even school students are arrested.
Anna nagar which was also affected was near to sellan kottai.
As no details got from the incident area, we went to surrounding villages as strangers, and started having casual conversation with those people without revealing ourselves. From that, we came to know that a lot of incidents have taken place in the past and all those angers culminated when nagaraj died.
Many facts given by them are really shocking.
The Pillayar Suli for this riot was laid by Karunanidhi:
Karunanidhi appointed Sudhakar, a dalit as the District SP. He inturn appointed Only dalits as Inspector and Sub Inspector in all police stations under him. This has given a major boost to Viduthalai Chiruthaigal in that area. Since the inspectors and SI are from their jathi, the atrocities done by viduthalai Chiruthaigal has become unbearable..
Some incidents to quote:
Kambai Nallur Incident:
This area is 20 KM from Dharmapuri town. A 12th std girl was returning from her school along with her teachers and panchayat president mariappan. A person came with some eggs, and broke that on the breast of that girl. And he ridiculed, he wanted to see whether the egg will break on Upper Caste women. Due to fear of PCR act, they did not take that to police station.
In another incident, a student name ranjitha was stopped by a person called subramani, and he bite in her cheek. The nearby people chased him away. When the father of that girl, Palani, complained to the police, a PCR case was filed on him by the SP Sudhakar.
When upper caste girls walk in the street, some goons will strip their pants and stand in front of them. Due to this, many girls stopped their schooling.
A person named mani from J.Palayam, stood on the foot of the girl Vijaya, in the bus. And he used some obscene words . Those who are in the bus, put down their heads. The girl complained to her house. The next day, her brothers accompanied her, and when the same person again abused this girl, they took him to the nearby police station.
On hearing this, the relatives of Mani (the person who abused her), started pelting stones on the bus, and abused her with obscene words. When the relatives of Vijaya opposed, there was a clash in that place. SP sudhakar unleashed the special force only on the relatives of Vijaya (the upper caste), and put 14 persons of them behind bar, with PCR case.
In this clash, a person named madhaiyan was missing. On the next day (21.10.2011) his dead body was floating in a well. The post mortem report confirmed he was beated to death. This news was published in Nakeeran Magazine.
The same kind of eve teasing happened to the daughter of a constable (shahul Sheriff) in the same kambai nallur police station. He vacated his house, and settled in a safe place nearby.
3 years before, some arms was missing in Athiyaman Kottai police station. 10 persons including PMK leader was arrested and tortured by the police. Later it was found that this crime was committed by a Dalit person.
Thus a specific jathi was targeted by the DSP sudhakar.
Savukku Thoappu Issue:
This place “Savukku Thoappu” is 2 Kms before the nayakkan kottai. 40 families are living there. Some families run maligai (kirana) shops. 65 year old govindan was running a petty (small) shop. Near to this gramam is Vellalapatti. There is a dada named Raju from this village, belonging to Viduthalai Chiruthaigal. He forcibly snatches materials from the shops, by threatening. This is a regular occurance. The viduthalai Chiruthai members are large in number in this area.
One day, being drunken, he tried to take some materials from this shop. The shop owner, Govindan tried to prevent this, but raju dragged him out, and broke all soda bottles in that shop. Getting angry, pushed raju away.. In this clash, raju’s fell down, and his head got smashed in a stone, and he died on the spot. Police arrested govindan, and to prevent any communal clash, put up police force of 10 in that village.
After 3 days, 20 members from viduthalai chiruthaigal party ransacked the shops there, and also attacked people there. In that, a student named suresh was severely injured (his backbone got broken), and got admitted in hospital for one month. For Another person, his ear drum was damaged.
Instead of taking action against them, the police formed a peace committee, and initiated dialogue. In that, a decision was taken to remove all party flag posts. They removed all, except viduthalai Chiruthaigal.
Sitting under this flag post, the viduthalai chiruthaigal gangs had teased young girls with obscene words and by throwing paper rocket..
As the situation became volatile, which might lead to another clash, people went to tahsildar demanding removal of that flagpost. The officials relented and removed it.
Like this the karunanidhi government has not taken any action on crimes against women, and instead formed only peace committee.. and this had made the viduthalai chiruthaigal, uncontrolled.
And the following news about viduthalai chiruthaigal is the highlight of all.
The youths from viduthalai chiruthaigal, lure school/college girl, by pretending to love them, and then deceitfully take them to some place and keep them there for 10 to 15 days and then demand money from their parent. The bargain would happen in the katta panchayat, and the girl would be released after receiving the money. This has been routine for long. The parents of the girl, to avoid spoiling the future of the girl, do not complain to the police.
Incident -1:
3 km from nallampalli village enroute to salem, lies the village konganapuram. The daughter of a person working in revenue department, (he belongs to chettiyar community), was lured by a dalit, and he lived with her for some days, and sent her back to her father with a demand of 3 lakh. The girl unable to face contempt from her father’s relatives , did not eat for days and committed suicide.
Incident – 2:
In the same nallaampalli village, a 17 year old girl was lured by this group, and they bargained with the parents. Her parent filed a habeous corpus in court, and recovered her daughter.
Incident – 3:
This incident happened 8 months after kambai nallur issue. A person from viduthalai chiruthaigal was disturbing a school girl (belongs to nayudu community) from puthureddyur (Near Kadathur) for months. The girl was consistently refusing his approach. One day evening, while she was returning from tuition, 3 persons from viduthalai chiruthaigal, attempts to rape her. On hearing the scream of this girl, nearby persons came and saved her. When they complained to the police station, the dalit police there threatened that the girl’s image would be spoiled and the complaint was not taken. The next day, around 200 persons, including the girl’s relatives, protested in the police station and demanded arrest of the kidnappers. Even after continuous complaint, the kidnappers were NOT arrested.
Incident-4:
A school girl named anupriya from nallampalli village, studying 10th std, was continuously approached by the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal for over a year. She also consistently refused. One day while she was returning from a mill with her aunt, 3 persons from Viduthalai Chiruthaigal gang, stopper her, caught her hand, folded it on her back, and forcefully took photo with her. She slapped him out of anger. Enraged at this, they tore her chudithar and beat her. The girl’s father questioned them about this incident, but he was also beated up. The next day, when the girl complained to the police, the DSP sandanapandi and the inspector ashokkumar removes names of two important names from viduthalai Chiruthaigal, and arrests others.
Generally, in all katta panchayats, the police always acted in favor of viduthalai chiruthaigal. Because a part of the amount extracted goes to them.
In palakkodu, same kind of incident happened. The girl’s relatives told that they will get back the girl by paying amount, and it is said that they chased away all those who came for the katta panchayat, including the police officers and took their girl. The police officers who got the beatings were silent.
The Current Dharmapuri Clash and the real situation:
Nagaraj from sellankottai had a daughter (Dhivya) and a son (Mani). His wife is Thenmozhi. Divya was studying B.Sc Nursing in a college nearby. Ilavarasan who completed 12th std, belongs to Natham Colony, which is on the way from her house. (He was selected for Constable post). He has successfully seduced divya in to his love trap. They both had gone together to many places.
Divya’s father Nagaraj was very affectionate towards her. When she asks 10rs, he will give 100 rs. Such was the affection shown by him.
When he came to know of Ilavarasan – Dhivya affair, he opposed it. Dhivya promised that she will not meet ilavarasan . Nagaraj believed her daughter’s words. In this situation, the day before the couple eloped (Oct-13th), a relative girl had met her in her college. The next day, dhivya ran away with ilavarasan.
First Nagaraj thought Dhivya had married him and left the issue. Only when the kattapanchayat gang phoned him that his daughter was safe with them, he understood the plot. That gang had conveyed indirectly that when he paid a sum of Rs.2 lakh, they will release the girl. Realising the seriousness, he went to the nearby police station. The police station for that area lies in Krishnapuram, which is near to nayakkan kottai. The S.I of that police station is perumal. (he is a dalit, and it is said that he is called as informal taluk level leader of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal).
The katta panchayat was conducted by this S.I perumal along with 6 other VC (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal) members. It continued for 3 days. Due to this, the people around this area came to know of this kattapanchayat. Also the girl’s father had asked for money from many sources. His wife thenmozhi also got 50,000 from her parents.
The girl and the boy was secretly hidden in the foothills of malayappanur, which is 5 km from dharmapuri, on the way to salem. In between when dhivya came to know about these bargains, she accepted to go with her father. Only few ladies, including the aunt, and mother of the girl was called for this bargain. Strict condition was laid like NOT to carry cell phones etc.
This bargain happened in the road leading to Jarugu. There, S.I Perumal said, upon payment of 7 lakhs, the girl would be released. Dhivya was crying at that time. At the end, the kattapanchayat gang headed by S.I perumal, assured that the girl will be handed over on 7th. With an intention to marry off his daughter after one month, Nagaraj spoke to his relative in Karnataka who son was fixed as the groom.
In such a situation, one of the girl’s relative called up dhivya that if she returned, her father will kill her. Due to this, dhivya was terrorized, and refused to go with Nagaraj and surrendered to the SP Asra Kark. Now Asra Kark came to know about the leelais of perumal.
Already angry that his katta panchayat was known to SP Asra kark, perumal abused Nagaraj when he asked for his daughter to be returned.
Having lost the money, and also his family name, nagaraj was depressed and committed suicide after returning home.
Since the people in that area was well aware of these katta panchayat, when the news about death of nagaraj spread, they all assembled together. Due to this, the dalits from Natham Colony vacated the village out of fear. S.I perumal was also escaped to secret place.
The relatives of Nagaraj, placed his dead body in front of Ilavarasan’s home and protested. There some enraged persons, ransacted houses there including ilavarasan’s. They burnt some of the vehicles there. When the police team arrived, they ran away.
Meanwhile, the nagaraj family and others, took the deadbody to the main road, and blocked the road. Nagaraj’s wife and all others, demanded that all those 7 members who conducted the katta panchayat should be arrested. In chengal medu along that road, 4 trees were felled down to block the traffic. Soon 2000 police were deployed by Krishnagiri S.P ashokkumar tried to pacify the protesters. He assured to arrest all those involved, and then sent Nagaraj’s body to post mortem.
In the same time, some of the dalit houses was damaged in kondampatty, 4 Km away from that place. The District Collector Lilly (she is also dalit), ordered to arrest all these people who protested. In the same night, the police went to each house and arrested all those found. The number of persons arrested in that day came around 90.
The next day, the newspapers published this incident. And the collected announced, 5000 rs to all those damaged houses. Due to this, the news about death of Nagaraj was suppressed, and the news about burning of vehicles was highlighted. Collector Lilly shown extraordinary interest in this issue, and was very rude to police. She pressured the police to arrest everyone. The previous night, the police tried to arrest even the son of the nagaraj, who was studying 12th. The ladies there, pleaded with police that since he is the son of the affected family, atleast he be left there. The police relented.
That night, when the police produced all those arrested before magistrate, thenmozhi did not say anything about the kattapanchayat. This surprised S.P. Asra kark. Even the public was surprised at this. They did not understand, that when the fact about ransom amount asked by VC, and Nagaraj paying them, was a known secret, why did she hide this matter before the magistrate. Some expressed their doubt, that some one who is involved in this transaction, might have prevented her fearing exposure.
Meanwhile, Thenmozhi refused to receive Nagaraj’s body after post mortem. She strongly said that unless those 7 persons involved in this katta panchayat was arrested, she will not take the body. 3 days has been passed. Pressure was applied from top to some how handover the body and immediately conduct the funeral.
People there said that Asra Kark has handled this incident with honesty. The police circles say that at one stage, there was verbal feud b/w Collector and the SP. The SP said to collector that he cannot dance to the tunes of collector and that he can take action only as per the law.
Since SC/ST commission would visit, the government wanted to clear the body before that to avoid further problems. So they spread a news that when the body is received and funerals conducted, the police will stop arresting people and that If the body was not received, the police will themselves conduct the funeral. Some relatives fearing further arrests, pressured thenmozhi to receive the body. So thenmozhi yielded to the pressure and conducted the funeral.
Even during the funeral, SP asked thenmozhi about the reason for Nagaraj’s death. He was trying to get the detail about Perumal who conducted the katta panchayat.
Due to Collector’s pressure, the arrest was done on daily basis. The pressure was so intense, that the police themselves got angered. Dinamani News
The persons who so far accused that the houses were burnt, now started to throw allegations of theft, looting, missing jewels etc. Due to this, the original kattapanchayat issue was suppressed, by diverting the issue to caste clash, theft , loot etc. The media too for their part, published these false news on daily basis. No on cared to enquire the affected family of thenmozhi . Media, Fact Finding Committee, and all vested interests assembled only in Ponnambatti village, which is 4 Km away and in NO way related in any way to this clash. It is people from that area, who started the allegations of theft and loot.
Lies of Marx Antony:
In the name of supporting dalits, many non-dalits writers are deliberately spreading canards and lies. One such person is Anthony Samy Nadar, the popular member of Fact Finding Committee.
We can point atleast two big lies of that fact finding committee.
1. More than 50 vehicles has been burnt. But all of them could produce photos of ONLY two vehicles.
The below photo is the house which is said to be burnt by fact finding committee.
Another house said to be burnt.
The bureau said to be looted. Published by fact finding committee
The same bureau photographed from different angle. This clearly shows that the bureau is part of the scrap iron in the shed. More details given below.
scrap irons and used liquor bottles found near to the bureau.
2. The fact finding committee published a bureau said to be looted by the upper caste rioters. But this is the photo of bureau found in a place called Ponnampatti. It was present in Raju’s house, who used to buy and sell scrap irons. To prove it, we have taken a photograph of the same bureau from different angle as given above.
Naken Lies of Kavin Malar (dinamalar reporter):
Under the disguise of Dalit Identity, a lot of forces have been dividing our society. Among them, kavin Malar is the prominent. She went to the extent of comparing this dharmapuri incident with Mullivaaikal (srilanka) and Vachathi. The readers can understand how wrong it is to compare dharmapuri incident with mullivaikaal.
But I want to mention the biggest lie (himayalayan lie) by kavin malar.
She said that around 1000 members came to every village preplanned and that they looted all houses as 50 member team for each house, and that they took away all these looted materials in the lorry they came and that they threw petrol bombs on the houses.
But the truth is different. Nagaraj committed suicide only by 5 PM. Till then, no untoward incident happened in that area. No one was even near nagaraj’s house. Only after hearing his death, people from surrounding villages assembled in thousands. Most of them are just by-standers.
When deceased nagaraj’s relatives blocked the road, 4 trees were felled down. Due to this even police vehicles could not enter that area. Traffic was halted completely. This happened at 6 PM. The road was blocked till 9 PM. In such a situation, it is not possible for them to plan, hire the vehicle, and loot from ponnampatti village where even road facility is not proper. Even basic common sense is suspended while writing like this. Kavinmalar was writing this naked lies, in order to revive her Lost Dalit mask, which was exposed few months before.
Does all those who assembled know in advance that nagaraj is going to commit suicide?
Kavin Malar and Dinamalar:
Kavinmalar proved that she is equal to dinamalar (newspaper) in manipulating a lie. As per the SC/ST commission report, the total houses damaged was given as 40. But Dinamalar was reporting the lie that more than 300 houses were burnt.
And kavinmalar is deliberately lying that 42 trees were felled down, whereas in actual only 4 trees were felled. On the way from dharmapuri to nayakkan kottai, first tree was felled at S. Kottayur. The second tree was felled at Chengalmedu which is 1 km away, and the third and fourth tree was felled at 500 metre distance. We have taken photograph of those trees and produced in this article.
But as kavinmalar was a big liar, she reported as 42 trees. Assuming she is true, where are those 42 trees? Have they uprooted all those trees? Even if so, there would be big pit in that place. Where are those pits ?
The reason we are focusing on this count of trees, is to prove the malicious intent on the part of kavin malar. IF kavin malar wants to prove what she wrote is true, she should go to that place and show atleast 40 trees.
Another organization called Evidence has visited the place where clash occurred, and submitted a report. Even in their account only 60 huts were mentioned as burnt. But dinamalar has written it as 300 houses.
However, we need not worry about dinamalar lies. It is their habit. But, the puthiya thalaimurai TV and its magazine, which claims itself as Hero of truth, also reported the same lies. They reported as 300 houses and 50 vehicles were burnt. They did not send a single reporter to the spot. Just through information obtained from phone they managed to write those lies. Instead of Sellangottai, they wrote it as Sennankottai. This itself is a proof. If their reporter had directly visited the spot, this mistake would not have occurred.
What did Puthiya Thalaimurai Magazine wrote?
Lets see how puthiya thalaimurai wrote in its magazine.
Most Men from Dalit villages like Natham Colony went to Bangalore for work and earned well. From their savings, they bought jewels, two wheelers and autos, built houses in their village. The goal of the dominant caste is to weaken the dalits economically.
If the above report of puthiya thalaimurai is true, then how many two wheelers should have been burnt? How many autos? How many houses should have been burnt?
However, only one tata magic and one auto was actually burnt. All medias showed only these two burnt vehicles and nothing else. Apart from this, 3 motor cycles were burnt Near Ilavarasan’s house.
As per Puthiya Thalaimurai’s reporting, the number of burnt houses was 268.
Will a responsible media, write like this irresponsibly? There is a reason for that.
The owner of Puthiya Thalaimurai TV is paari vendhar. He started a political party called “India Democratic Party” for his own caste. But another unknown fact is that the same person is running a magazine for his own caste. It is called “paarkavan kural”. One day, an advertisement was released in that magazine. Ie, paarivendar announced one lakh rupees for those dalit couples, who conducts marriage under his guidance. This is a proof, that paarivendhar was using dalits as votebank to develp his own party. And for that, he is luring dalits with such helps. And this also proves, he is instigating caste clashes in north tamilnadu where dalits are majority.
In order to find what happened actually in the caste clash, we met those who are arrested under PCR act in the salem jail. Their version of the story is different.
“because of the prevailing anger in that area, they attacked only ilavarasan’s house. Other than that, they only blocked the road demanding arrest of those who are involved in this kattapanchayat. Our anger was towards police and NOT on anyone else. We burnt only the police vehicles and we don’t know what happened else where. “
Also they said, that police has arrested many people who are NOT connected to these incidents, and even the relatives who came for the mourning, and school friends of nagaraj’s son Mani (all aged b/w 17-20), were also arrested.
The list of school, college and ITI students who was arrested by police.
1. Jaisathish
2. Santhosh
3. Aasaithambi
4. Karthick
5. Dinesh
6. Senthil
7. Manimaran
8. Dilli raj
9. Chandrasekhar
10. Arul

12. Murugan
13. Deiveegam
14. Thulasirajan
15. Sriram Arulselvan
16. Murali

Further, 70 year old periyasamy, a diabetic patient annadurai, all were arrested under PCR Act.
Also a particular jathi was accused of orchestrating this riots. However, the list of arrested persons include people from all jathis.
No. of persons from other jathi who were arrested.
Nayudu – 12
Kurumbar – 4
Chettiyar – 4
Kongu Vellalar – 2
Vannar – 2
Everyone resented that the purpose for which they all protested was still now not fulfilled. All those 7 people who are involved in katta panchayat was not arrested so far. Instead the SI perumal who headed the kattapanchayat was just transferred. “We are not worried about being in jail. We want that atrocities of this gang should not happen in future”, they said.
Some people, after our request, shared their anguish.
“ It is we who lost our daughter, lost our honour, lost our husband. But no one cares about our suffering. Till date, No one came to see us or to enquire what happened. The real criminals has tactfully diverted the issue, and escaped by throwing allegations on us. “
Tirumavazhavan’s worry:
After the dharmapuri incident, thirumavazhavan conducted a private meeting among his party members. He said “If you all create enmity with all jathis, then it will be a good opportunity for karunanidhi who is looking to kick out our party from his alliance. And we have to disband the party and go.”
Attacks in Aroor:
Aroor is located at 20 KM from dharmapuri. A person named Sakthivel was returning from Tiruvannamalai to salem. On the way, at a place called S. Patti, the viduthalai Chiruthai party was protesting against dharmapuri incident, and in that, they threw stones at the bus in which sakthivel travelled. Sakthivel (who belongs to the so called upper caste vanniyar community) was injured in this stone pelting and eventually died in hospital. All media systematically suppressed this news. Police also did not arrest the criminals.
Another romeo was caught redhanded
After this dharmapuri incident, many girls got awareness about the large scale conspiracy by viduthalai chiruthaigal gang. One girl was disturbed in the same way by a person from ambedkar colony, and she took this matter to her father. His father then caught that boy red-handed in nallaanpatti, and chased him away. Some youths called him to file a complaint. But this father, refused, saying he wants his girl to live in peace.
From our field visit, we came to know the following news.
1. More than 26 girls has been lured like this, and were recovered after paying ransom amount. Considering the future of that girl, none of their parents complained about this.
2. At one point of time, this nayakkan kottai village was the fort of Naxals. Activists from the so called Upper caste vanniyars, ate in the dalit’s houses. A village which should have been an example to whole tamilnadu, has become a bad example, because of the former SP Sudhakar, who gave unlimited freedom to viduthalai chiruthaigal.
3. As per the report of SC/ST commission, the number of houses burnt was 40, and damaged was 175. But the government gave compensation to 268 houses. How is it possible?
4. When the Revenue Inspector, took the census, the people asked for compensation even for small breakage of window. When he refused, he was threatened and forced to include those houses.
The Role of PMK:
Many people accuse PMK as the force behind this incident. But in reality, they have no connection to this incident. People all parties and all jathis joined the protest in the first day.
The next day, the panchayat president Raja (belongs to PMK) was called for dialogue by the collector. In front of the collector itself, viduthalai chiruthaigal gang attacked him and broke his head. This incident itself is an example, on whose side, the collector and police were acting.
Even after all these happened, no one met the affected family on behalf of PMK. They were busy issuing press statements.
When some persons pasted posters condemning PMK for instigating the riots, the PMK party people were happy, because they got the name for an act they did not do.
Advantages to Viduthalai Chiruthaigal
By diverting the focus of this kattapanchayat, the viduthalai chiruthaigal is the most benefitted.
1. The Victim was made as accused.
2. They successfully projected themselves as Innocent.
3. No one can dare to question them in future, on this kidnap game.
4. To get compensation even for houses not affected
Future of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal
The PCR act which was enacted to protect the dalits, was now used as a shield for atrocities of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal. Due to this, these people are going to be isolated from mainstream, and it will take time for them to realize this.
The progress of the dalits lies in their education and NOT in the bedrooms of the so called upper castes. If this is NOT understood, then today’s victory would be tomorrow’s defeat for them. It is the ordinary dalits who are going to affected out of this.
All those leaders who visit the riot spot, was demanding 2 lakhs, 5 lakhs so on for the affected houses. Let the government give even 10 lakhs to the affected houses. We don’t have any issues.
But our main question remains unanswered.
The people who attacked the houses has been arrested under PCR act. But who is going to punish those culprits, who is responsible for the death of Nagaraj and Sakthivel (who died in stone pelting incident).
