A political convention held here on Sunday called for greater awareness on the condition of political prisoners in the country who were forced to languish in jails without trial for years.
Opening the event, Telugu writer and social activist B. Anuradha said people who worked for the minorities, Dalits, and women were being targeted by the establishment and put behind bars. She pointed out that Muslims were living in fear after the Narendra Modi government came to power at the Centre. Many Muslim youth were arrested, and some others were killed during the agitation against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Most of them continue to be in jail, Ms. Anuradha said.
