Noted author and poet Meena Kandasamy called upon the writers of India to speak about the oppression faced by the disqualified Member of Parliament and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Speaking at the book release event of a compilation of revolutionary writer Varavara Rao’s poetry ‘Varavara Rao- A life in poetry’ here on Thursday, Ms. Kandasamy said no writer was speaking about the disqualification of the leader and the defamation case slapped against him.
“We look at it as Congress’ problem. We look at it as his election problem. Fact is if somebody can be awarded two years in prison for allegedly defaming an amorphous community, it is not about Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification. It is about what you will be allowed to write tomorrow,” she said.
