TNCC condemns eviction of Tamils from Jangpura area in New Delhi
Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K. Selvaperunthagai on Monday condemned the eviction of hundreds of Tamils from Jangpura area in Delhi and demolition of their homes based on a court order. In a statement, Mr. Selvaperunthagai said that most of those who were evicted were engaged in daily wage, domestic work and daily labour. 'When houses are demolished with the help of the police, the education of their children becomes questionable. Women are suffering without security, water and electricity. The Union Government and the BJP government in Delhi have not provided complete relief to the affected people. It is a great injustice to make people move without any solution or prior notice,' he said. Mr. Selvaperunthagai demanded that those displaced should be given accommodation and that employment opportunities should be created in the nearby areas. 'Appropriate compensation should be provided for loss of life and damage to property. The Union Government should understand that the Congress will strongly oppose any action that does not respect the right to life of the Tamils,' he said.
