Create awareness among tribespeople, Krishnankutty urges legal fraternity

K Krishnankutty

Minister for Power K. Krishnankutty made a fervent call to the legal fraternity to ensure justice to the downtrodden tribal community of Attappady.

Delivering his presidential address at the inaugural of a Munsif Magistrate Court at Attappady on Saturday, Mr. Krishnankutty bewailed the pathetic conditions of the tribespeople even 75 years after India became independent.

“If we don’t take care of them, I’m afraid there will not be genuine complainants and genuine legal proceedings. These people don’t know what are their rights, let alone making a complaint. They don’t know how to complain. Create legal awareness among them first,” the Minister exhorted the legal community.
