Bhargavi Dilipkumar from Delhi Forum said groups like National Coalition for Strengthening PoA (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, Delhi Solidarity Group, JNU ( Jawaharlal Nehru University) Students Union and All India Students Association are planning to come together to protest against discrimination of Dalits.
Among the demands of the protesters would be to withdraw Section 144 from Natham Colony in Dharmapuri, which witnessed mob violence last November after Elavarasan eloped with Divya.
The protesters would also demand implementation and advocacy of SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act and guidance, counseling for couples married across castes and banning caste-based political parties. "On November 23 last year, we had a mass rally where around 35,000 dalits and advasis turned up from all parts of the country, including Tamil Nadu," said Bhargavi. "In the past 15 years, atrocities against dalits touched a peak in 2012 across Tamil Nadu, with Villupuram, Virudhunagar, Dharmapuri and Theni topping the list," she added.
Anil Tharayath, a member of Delhi Forum, said that while the logistics are still at the planning stage, the protests are likely to take place early next week. "Caste is a reality across the country. The configurations are just different," said Tharayath, adding that caste-based parties like PMK must be banned.
