Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has brought in a vicious culture in which even justice is getting handcuffed, regretted Nara Lokesh, TDP general secretary, on Saturday.
When the advocates from Pithapuram met Lokesh during his ongoing Yuva Galam pada yatra and made an appeal to him to repeal the Land Titling Act-2023 immediately after the TDP forms the government after the coming elections, Lokesh expressed concern that the Jagan Government is harassing even the advocates who fight for justice by filing false cases. The advocates also made an appeal to Lokesh to fill the vacant posts in the courts across the State as justice is getting delayed.
Informing the TDP general secretary about the non-release of Rs 75 lakh funds for the welfare of the lawyers, they wanted a separate act for the security of their community. The advocates also wanted amendments to the 41A CrPC as it is being misused now.
Regretting that black laws are being enacted to see to it that the common man does not get justice, Lokesh said even judges are being humiliated taking advantage of social media. Assuring the advocates that a legislaton will certainly be enacted for the safety and security of the lawyers once the TDP forms the next government, Lokesh promised them that the Land Titling Act will be repealed and also the welfare fund for advocates will be increased. Lokesh also informed them that fast track courts will be set up by the coming TDP government and all the incomplete court buildings will be constructed.
Lokesh, who began his Yuva Galam pada yatra at Thimmapuram campsite in Kakinada (Rural) Assembly segment entered Pithapuram at Chitrada where he was welcomed by local TDP leaders, including former MLA, Varma. In a statement released here on Saturday, Lokesh said that the vigilance staff members of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) acted like street-rowdies in attacking the SV Arts College student.
The TTD vigilance staff members virtually killed the first year student of the SV Arts college, Jitendra Kumar, only out of revenge, he said. It is really regrattable that the student committed suicide after the attack by the vigilance staff, Lokesh said, adding that this is nothing but an official murder.
Demanding payment of Rs 50 lakh as compensation for the family members of Jitendra Kumar, Lokesh said that those responsible for the suicide of the boy should be punished severely.
