Jagruthi leaders urge Women’s Commission action against Teenmar Mallanna

HYDERABAD

A delegation of Telangana Jagruthi leaders on Monday staged a protest in front of the Telangana State Women’s Commission demanding stern action against MLC Teenmar Mallanna for making derogatory comments against Jagruthi president and MLC K. Kavitha.

Later, in a complaint lodged with the Commission, the Jagruthi leaders M. Madhavi, D. Suchitra, Sandhya Reddy, S. Laxmi, Ravathi Rao, Uma, Afroze Shaheen and others expressed disappointment over the absence of Chairperson Nerella Sharada despite she being given prior information. They stated that even the Commission Secretary had refused to accept the complaint citing non-availability of the chairpersons.

They termed the attitude of the Commission Chairperson and Secretary discouraging even in the matter of persons insulting women. Some Commission Members, who were present, however, took the complaint and assured that necessary action would be taken. The Jagruthi leaders alleged that they were not allowed entry inside the Commission for about two hours.
