Forum against Suppression or Nirbandh Vyatireka Vedika on Saturday, anticipating a new government in the State, for which counting of votes is scheduled on Sunday, demanded that the new regime must commit itself to repealing the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act or UAPA.
“The new government should make a resolution in the cabinet meeting, pass it in the Legislative Assembly and submit it to the Centre. UAPA should be repealed,” FaS convenor G. Haragopal and members from the civil society demanded.
The ‘new Telangana government’ must also withdraw the UAPA and illegal cases booked against social activists and leaders of various people’s organisations in the State, they demanded.
