ABVP Tamilnadu strongly condemns AP Police and TN Government on Red Sanders killings

20 Red Sanders smugglers mostly belonging to the State of Tamilnadu were killed by AP police Officials in the Seshachalam forest, Chitoor District, Andra Pradesh on Tuesday.   

Condemning this incident, ABVP National Executive Member Dr. Subbiah has stated, “Yesterday AP Police have resorted to firing on 100 odd people suspected to be involved in cutting red sanders to be smuggled out and 20 of them were killed on spot.  We should understand that those who have been killed were driven by absolute poverty, their own urge to earn money even by illegal means.  It is failure of Tamilnadu Government who are not bothered about masses but about interests of one single lady all the time, everywhere and in everything…..

Definitely mass firing and killing is not a method to deter people from indulging in illegal activities.  Opening fire to kill should be last resort in enforcing law. 

Nature is God’s gift to mankind and we should educate about it through formal education system and impart adequate moral values too.

ABVP Tamilnadu unit strongly condemns the action of AP Police who seems to have resorted to firing on a mass without proper warning and preventive action.  We also condemn the apathy of Tamilnadu government which is not at all bothered about poverty of its people.  We suspect wrong policies including liquor sale by TASMAC, preoccupation present Tamilnadu Government to save its party leader from legal tangles has also contributed to this present scenario.”
