“The girls complain that their lands are being taken, and they do not know the place their sons and husbands are… Atrocious violations of human rights has occurred. These girls have met officers at NHRC (National Human Rights Commission) and submitted their plea,” added the Working President of BRS, who has been vocal about Congress “misrule” because the Grand Old Party unseated the BRS within the state election held earlier this yr.
The Congress and the BRS have accused one another of complicity within the violence at Lagacharla village, the place authorities officers had been attacked once they had gone to debate land acquisition with the villagers. The Congress mentioned the violence was “KTR’s plan to destabilise the federal government”, pointing to what they known as “fraudulent” acquisitions through the BRS rule.
“You acquired land to make a pharma village. But the individuals of the land didn’t need to give it. And now that is the violent assault on them. They are being tortured. Is this democracy?” mentioned Mr Rao, who was a minister within the authorities led by his father, Okay Chandrashekar Rao.

And there may be absolute silence from the nationwide capital and Rahul Gandhi. Women and kids being tortured however full silence,’ Mr Rao, popularly dubbed KTR, added.
