| The
10 member-team with representatives from Punjab, Maharashtra, Bihar,
Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh visited the three districts of
Mahbubnagar, Karimnagar and Prakasham. Sharing the findings of the
committee with the media, A Rahul of Indian Association of People's
Voice from Tamil Nadu demanded a judicial probe into the killing of
three persons by the Cobras and death threat to 72 other activists. |
|||
| Strongly
condemning the attitude of the director general of police Swaranjit Sen
on this issue, he said that the DGP was completely unserious about
taking action against these organisation. "This itself shows that the
nexus between the cobras and the police," he said. |
|||
| Raj
Kishore, the generally secretary of Revolutionary Democratic Forum said
that Andhra Pradesh was the only State where such a large number of
people were receiving death threats through newspapers. |
|||
| "We
met Chief Minster YS Rajasekhara Reddy and he assured us that the
Government will take stringent action against these organisations. But
when we visited Ongole, a group of 50 persons clad in Burqa heckled us
at the behest of the police," he said. Holding the Prakasham district
superintendent of police Balasubrahmjanyam responsible for the
incident, he demanded action against him. |
|||
| "No
other state has such a serious situation as Andhra Pradesh. These
cobras are threatening to kill 12 most prominent human rights activists
to suppress their voices," he said. |
