TDP MP writes to NHRC seeking an inquiry into human rights violations in Andhra Pradesh

Telugu Desam Party MP Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar has written a letter to National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Justice Arun Mishra, requesting him to depute a team of independent officers for investigating the slew of complaints filed against the TDP leaders, mainly including its national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, workers and sympathisers with the alleged connivance of the police, and several instances of violation of human rights in Andhra Pradesh.

Mr. Ravindra Kumar alleged that the said violations were “sponsored, aided and abetted” by the YSRCP government and the fundamental rights were being curtailed and voices of dissent suppressed.

He pointed out that Mr. Naidu was arbitrarily arrested in the skill development scam case and was since being “ill-treated in custody.”
