Panaji: Reacting strongly to the interim order restraining Prakash Velip from functioning as President of the United Tribal Associations Alliance (UTAA) and managing its finances, former minister Govind Gaude issued a sharp statement on Tuesday, warning against attempts to suppress the voice of the Bahujan Samaj.
“If anyone is conspiring to suppress the voice of the Bahujan Samaj, they should stop or they will face the consequences themselves,” Gaude said.
Challenging the legal action, he said, “Bring the Registrar to the temple, the members of UTAA will also come. I repeat—take out a morcha to the residence of Prakash Velip. This is my challenge.”
Calling on the community to stand firm, Gaude added, “Rather than becoming slaves, we must uphold our self-respect and dignity.”
The remarks come amid ongoing tensions within the UTAA and follow the recent legal developments surrounding its leadership and financial management.
