Villupuram MP calls for immediate steps to end caste-based discrimination in prisons in Tamil Nadu

Villupuram Member of Parliament D. Ravikumar has written to T.N. Law Minister S. Regupathy urging him to take immediate steps to end caste-based discrimination in prisons in Tamil Nadu. Terming this practice unconstitutional, the MHA had written to Chief Secretaries of all State and Union Territories, including Tamil Nadu, urging them to ensure that their jail manuals do not contain any discriminatory provisions, he said. Chandrachud also found that prisons in more than 10 States, including Tamil Nadu, continue to have provisions sanctioning discrimination and forced labour, based on caste, in prisons. Hence, the State government should take immediate steps to end caste-based discrimination in the prisons of Tamil Nadu, Mr. Ravikumar said.
