Member of Telangana Legislative Council Kalvakuntla Kavitha has ridiculed the government’s claims of protecting democratic rights and free speech saying the police is yet to permit her peaceful protest against GO No 3 linked to women’s reservations in Telangana.
“While Chief Minister Revanth Reddy waxes eloquent on democratic protests the police is denying permission for my peaceful protest,” she said demanding changes to GO No 3, which she said would be detrimental to the interests of women in employment in Telangana.
The GO is related to Government’s decision to follow a court order to implement the horizontal reservation of 33.33% for women without considering the roster point system.
