All India Congress Committee Working Committee member and national co-ordinator (SC, ST, OBC and Minorities Dept), K. Raju, on Tuesday said Congress party should aspire to organise a massive public rally (similar in scale) like the one organised by Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi founder and Chidambaram M.P. , Thol. Thirumavalavan, recently in Tiruchi named ‘Vellum Sananayagam, in the next couple of years.
Speaking at a training programme on Dalit Rights organised by the TN Congress SC department head M.P. Ranjan Kumar, Mr. Raju said, “An organisation has no value if it is confined to your own offices. Community outreach is important and it will happen only if you are able to identify the issues faced by community and address those problems. Whenever Dalits are in trouble, they should think about reaching out to the SC department. Are they looking to the district committee president or block president or are they reaching out to some other agency? We have to bring about this change.”
He threw another challenge at Mr Ranjan Kumar, and urged him to organise a public rally like the one organised by the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi in Tiruchi last month.
