Tribal Activist Ammini K Wayanad express her protest against the brutal act of the culprits they mercilessly and without humanity attacked an innocent Tribal Men named Mathan. She express her unsatisfaction against the delayed action of Kerala police generally in case of crimes against Tribal’s. Police normally not ready ton register FIR against the accused in case of complainants belonging to Tribal community. However police charged offences against tribals without delay and most of the convicts in Wayanad districts belonging to Tribal community. The tribal activists always raise their voice against the biased action of police however the authorities not ready to listen and not ready to give direction to the agencies like police and other similar agencies. This is a time to raise the voice of voiceless for protecting the rights and stop the biased actions of the authorities too.
