Coimbatore: Puthiya Tamilagam party leader Dr Krishnaswamy met the reporters today at his residence in Kuniyamuthur, Coimbatore.
“We have been insisting for 30 years that 6 castes in the Scheduled caste list should be excluded from it along with the removal of Devendra Kula Vellalars from the list. But the Central Government has now only made a name change without delisting them would not be of any benefit to the community. Devendra Kula Vellalars should be removed from the list and there is no convincing us in this”
Dr Krishnasamy also said that “we are not worried about the reservation for Devendra Kula Vellalars as we just want them off the list.” He then said there was no point in simply treating the wound without actually removing the thorn.
Further during the meeting Dr Krishnasamy, leader of the Puthiya Tamilagam party said that “it is not right for other communities to limit the usage of the name Vellalar and said that there are 56 Vellalars and we also want to be a part of it.” He then added that the removal from the list is the first step towards caste elimination.
