This is the 3rd day of house arrest over the Akividu issue. If you come to my house and see, you will understand what house arrest really looks like.
Inside the house premises, there is one SI and 5 constables; outside the house, another 5 constables; at every corner, around 10 more police personnel; one police jeep in front of the house and another jeep in the back street—this is how they have completely restricted me.
Why should I be arrested at all? Did I ever give a “Chalo Akividu” call? Did I ever make any statement opposing the temple foundation ceremony?
In Akividu, attempt to murder cases were filed against 57 people. When I tried to go and meet them after hearing that the police had carried out a mass attack, they stopped me near Quarry Market and placed me under house arrest for two days. On the third day, when I tried to leave again, they stopped me in Palakollu, filed a bind-over case against me, brought me back to Rajahmundry, and once again put me under house arrest.
They made me write in the bind-over that I should come only after taking permission. I submitted letters for permission to the Collector and the SP while I was in Palakollu. The Collector’s office replied that my letter had been forwarded to the SP. But there has been no information from the SP.
If some BSP leaders give a “Chalo” call, how is it justified to arrest me in this manner?
I had planned to attend the program of Nadendla Bhaskara Rao garu on the 2nd. I had a very good relationship with him. Because of this, I could not attend.
See how strange this is—BJP brought in Manda Krishna Madiga and organized a meeting yesterday. To give him hype, Andhra Jyothy and the yellow media are publishing paper cuttings. That is why I am warning Dalit Christians—Manda Krishna Madiga is a BJP messenger. Do not fall into his trap.
That is exactly why I am saying this. Now it is becoming very clear, isn’t it?
Let us see how long they will continue this house arrest.
