Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh): Andhra Pradesh opposition leader and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday demanded that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy should take responsibility for the inhuman treatment meted out to dalit doctor Dr Sudhakar in the streets of Visakhapatnam.
The TDP chief condemned the attack on the doctor and demanded that "cases under the SC, ST Atrocities (Prevention) Act be filed against the guilty persons."
"Seeing this attack on dalit doctor, society is lowering its head in shame. Tying hands and beating with lathis is condemnable. This is an attack on dalit community and on doctors fraternity," he said in a press statement.
Naidu also demanded an immediate arrest of the persons who harassed and made threatening phone calls to the dalit doctor.
