BJP State
Legal Cell has decided to pitch in to fight against the anti-people policies of
the State government and to play a key role in the protecting the democratic
rights of the citizens in the State.
The State
level meeting held here on Saturday is attended by the party MP Bandaru
Dattatraya, BJP Legislature Party Leader in the State Assembly G Kishan Reddy,
MLC N Ramachander Rao, legal cell convener Narasimha Reddy and advocate members
of the cells.
Speaking at
the meeting, party MLC N Ramachander Rao stressed the need for further
strengthening the legal cell. “The TRS is not interested in the bifurcation of
the combined High Court and it was a TRS person who had filed a case on this
issue in the court,” he alleged.
The efforts
made by the legal cell resulted in the Centre responding positively over the
issue and agreed to create a separate state High Court for Telangana State, he
said. He criticised the State government for not forming the districts courts
after reorganising the districts in the State. Besides, he also asked the legal
cell to question as to what happened to the Rs 100 crore Advocate Fund
announced by the State government.
Kishan Reddy,
while appreciating the activities of the cell, said that the State was under an
undemocratic rule against the spirit of the movement for the creation of a
separate Telangana. Those raising their voices against injustice had been sent
to jails. For this, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had been getting laws
enacted that suited to secure his party’s interests. Sending farmers in the
Mallannasagar and Khammam to jails were the two incidents that reflected the
undemocratic functioning of the TRS government, he said.
He appealed
to the members of the legal cell to extensively use the RTI Act to take on the
autocratic functioning of the TRS government in the State and take up issues of
people’s interest. Bandaru Dattatraya praised the publicity campaign taken up
by the women’s members of the cell in creating awareness on Triple Talaq
issue. He also appealed to them to help
the farmers who were not getting adequate compensation from the government in
the land acquisition cases.
