Addressing Police Excesses: KTR’s Firm Stand
BRS working president KTR expressed serious concern on Friday over the reported police excesses against BRS workers in Mulugu district for chanting ‘Jai Telangana’ slogans. En route to Medigadda, he met with the affected party workers in Parkal, assuring them of unwavering support from the party leadership during challenging times.
Condemnation and Protest: Against Partisan Attitude
In response to the incidents, KTR promptly contacted the District Superintendent of Police, lodging a strong protest against local police officials for their alleged biased conduct. He denounced the fabrication of false cases against BRS workers and emphasized that the party would not remain passive if its members were subjected to unjust summonses and harassment by law enforcement.
Impartiality and Accountability: Call for Ethical Conduct
Highlighting the importance of impartiality in law enforcement, KTR underscored that political power is transient and urged the police to uphold the legal framework in their actions. He emphasized that succumbing to political pressure undermines the integrity of the police force and called for adherence to ethical conduct.
Commitment to Support: Ensuring Justice
Assuring full support to party workers facing unwarranted legal action, KTR warned against any recurrence of such incidents, particularly the Parkal episode. He affirmed the party’s readiness to seek legal recourse and engage human rights organizations to address instances of police harassment. Despite challenges, he encouraged party members to remain steadfast and resilient.
Drawing from Experience: Lessons from the Past
Reflecting on historical parallels, KTR recalled the challenges faced by the party during the Statehood movement and urged party members not to be disheartened by current adversities. Despite the crackdown, local leaders conveyed ongoing police actions against BRS workers, prompting KTR to reiterate the party’s commitment to pursuing justice through legal avenues.
