Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front will organise a National Dalit Agenda Conference here on November 18 and kickstart a signature campaign from October 25 to garner support for demands put forth by Dalit and human rights organisations.
In a statement, TNUEF general secretary Samuel Raj said 12 demands would be put forth during the conference, including enactment of a law to ensure that a part of public resources is set aside for the Dalits and allotment of five acres of land for rural landless Dalits. “We will place those demands and launch a signature campaign. This is a part of an all-India programme that will culminate on December 4 in New Delhi, where a march towards Parliament will be held,” he said.
