TIRUPUR: A couple of family and neighbours of V Shankar, a dalit man who was murdered for marrying a lady from the thevar group, have objected to the remarriage of Shankar's widow Kausalya. At a meeting on Tuesday, around 50 people from the devendra kula velallar group resolved to distance themselves from Shankar's family.
The assembly, held at Komaralingam close to Udumalpet, passed a resolution condemning the actions of Kausalya.
Sources mentioned they have got forwarded the resolution to various government departments, together with the Adi Dravidar welfare department, urging them to withdraw the government activity given to Kausalya.
"Following the murder of Shankar, we stood with Kausalya and helped her to get justice. But after getting a central government job and other benefits, Kausalya changed her route," mentioned Durairaj, a relative of Shankar's father C Velusamy, mentioned. "She has erased memories of Shankar and has married a youth from her thevar community. This is all she could do after earning the anti-caste crusader tag," he added.
Durairaj alleged that Kausalya now sought after capital punishment awarded to her father B Chinnasamy commuted. "We never wanted any activism at Komaralingam in the name of caste. But the Shankar Samuganeethi Trust, which she founded, was involved in activism. This was affecting the peaceful atmosphere of the village," Durairaj mentioned.
When contacted, Velusamy mentioned Kausalya had no longer expressed a need to have capital punishment for her father commuted."
