Stop forcible land acquisition: Brinda Karath

VIJAYAWADA: Lashing out at chief minister Chandrababu Naidu for planning to acquire huge extents of lands from the farmers, CPM national leader Brinda Karath has said that women would be the worst victims of displacement of farmers. She threatened to launch protests to protect the rights of women if justice was not done to their families.

Addressing a public meeting organized here in connection with the state conference of All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) on Saturday, Brinda said that Chandrababu Naidu was also planning to render injustice to lakhs of tribals, dalits in the guise of development projects. She asked as to how could the state prosper and witness growth if lakhs of families from dalits, tribals and poor farmers were displaced by taking away their precious lands.

She criticized Naidu for joining hands with the communal forces for the sake of power and trying to follow their footsteps. While Prime Minister is preaching about development, his supporters in RSS, VHP were trying to sow the seeds of division in the society, she charged.

She asked as to how the products manufactured by multinational companies would benefit the workers and artisans of India. She said that MNCs would also try to pocket profits by depriving minimum wages and facilities to the workers and paving red-carpet to MNCs was nothing but an insult to the Indian government. AIDWA national president Malini Bhattacharya took strong object at exploiting women in commercial publicity. "What is the fun in showing the female models half-naked even in advertisements for sale of house and flats," she fumed.

She said that AIDWA would fight for women and girl children rights. She deplored that the country was witnessing worst crimes against women and children and there was an urgent need to put up united fight to protect them. She said that no country could prosper without providing safety to women and girl children. AIDWA national vice-president Sudha Sundara Raman, CITU state president, Punyavathi, AIDWA state president, K Subbaravamma, general secretary, K Swaroopa Rani, state vice-president, D Ramadevi also addressed the meeting. Earlier, women activists of AIDWA held an impressive rally from Tummalapalli Kalakshetram to public meeting venue at PWD grounds.
