Ensure social justice, lawyers told

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former Union Minister O.Rajagopal has called on
lawyers to ensure social justice to marginalised sections such as
Dalits and tribals.
Inaugurating a seminar on the `Rights of the marginalised' organised
as part of the state conference of the Bharathiya Abhibhashaka
Parishad here on Saturday, he said that lawyers should be more
vigilant about protecting the rights of the weaker sections.
Participating in the seminar, Chengara land agitation leader Laha
Gopalan said when the Communist Government implemented the Land
Reforms Act, it had provided hundreds of acres of land to big parties
while the dalits who toiled on the land were provided only three cents
of land.
Kerala Dalit Federation (KDF) president P. Ramabhadran said that
while dalits were integral part of the Hindu community, they had no
reason to be proud of being Hindus. Kazhakoottam Narayanan Nair,
Kochukunju, Nagaresh, P.L. Venukumar and Ajith Aniyur spoke.
