AHINDA class should come forward in all sectors: Dinesh Amin Mattu
Bengaluru, June 19: Senior journalist and former media advisor to the Chief Minister, Dinesh Amin Mattu said that AHINDA (Minorities, Backward and Dalits) class should come to the mainstream of all sectors including literature, media, theatre and culture at this juncture.
Speaking at a convention on Demand for Social Justice, organized by the Manava Bandhutva Vedike at Freedom Park here on Tuesday, Dinesh said that if AHINDA wanted to become strong in politics, it should come to the forefront in all other sectors as well. The objective of social justice is to ensure equal life and equal share to all. It should be the priority of the democracy to give equal opportunities to all castes and communities in the state. Then only it could become the government of all classes, he opined.
A conspiracy is being hatched out systematically to corner those who work for the social system. Right from Buddha, Basavanna and others, it has continued upto Siddaramaiah. At least in future, everyone should back those who work for the betterment of the society, he said.
