International Intellectuals back Prof. Kancha Ilaiah
Hyderabad, May 31: International Intellectuals Forum has expressed solidarity with Prof. Kancha Ilaiah for his statements against Brahmins leading to legal battle. In a pressnote here on Tuesday, the International Intellectuals termed the attack on Ilaiah as ongoing process of criminalization of dissent and suppression of freedom of expression which has received a boost under the current Government. The law has repeatedly been turned into surrogate for Hindutva politics and it wais shocking that Telangana government too has fallen prey to the majoritarian ambience and that its State institutions are backing Hindutva violence. Intellectuals across the globe demanded that the government stop intimidation and withdraw police cases against Prof. Ilaiah.
