Pendurthi incident that happened couple of days back shocked many in the state as a dalit woman was dragged and assaulted allegedly by TDP leader over a land dispute. The video where she was dragged and her clothes were torn off by the culprits shown in media. Reportedly, the woman had objected to the digging work on a piece of land and that led those leaders to assault on her.
The incident took place on Tuesday and the woman registered a complaint with the Pendurthi village on Wednesday. Leaders from opposition party questioned TDP leaders on the incident. YSRCP MLA Roja asked where are those woman ministers now when there is attack on a dalit woman. She reminded these were the ministers who immediately show up to attack Roja whenever she makes some comments.
Now Pawan joined the bandwagon and seeks explanation from government of AP as the assault was allegedely done by the members of ruling TDP party. He even warned the government of serious consequences similar to those in Rohit Vemula case if government doesn’t address this incident. He tweeted below –
“People seek an explanation from AP Govt on the Visakhapatnam incident where a helpless woman was brutally assaulted by some political leaders( as the reports say they are from TDP).I was deeply disturbed by what i heard & saw. If the Govt doesn’t respond in the manner it has to then the outcome for sure will not be pleasant one.Think of Rohit Vemula incident how it shook up the entire nation and request the authorities not to be mute spectators.”
We need to wait and see how ruling party responds to this.
