In the recent past, Prof Surepally Sujatha, a well known social activist is being attacked, harassed, threatened, maligned and targetted for standing and speaking for the rights of Dalits and other marginalized groups. The vitriol and trolls against her by the right wingers crossed all levels of civility.

We are deeply disturbed by the concerted campaign against Dr.Sujatha Surepally, by the ABVP and other organizations of the BJP. We condemn the casteist and misogynistic language in which she is being abused in the social media by these groups. We think that she is being singled out for her principled stand on issues ranging from illegal displacement of people by the governments to burning of Manusmriti. We strongly believe that false complaints and vicious social media campaigns are not the modes of resolving differences of opinion on political issues. In a democracy, such differences should be resolved through discussions.

Allam Ramnarayana,Chairperson, Press Council of Telangana Prof Ratnam, University of Hyderabad and many others will speak

Activists across the country are holding meetings to bring the issue to the fore.

Lamakaan invites one and all to this Solidarity Meeting with Prof Surepally Sujatha.
